Outdoors in a temple-style courtyard with palm trees, a figure in orange-saffron robes and a rudraksha-style bead garland sits cross-legged on a low wooden seat within a circular stone-edged pit filled with gravel. Before them is a small brass kalasha-like vessel on a green mat, and a woven mat extends toward the foreground. Behind are rows of dark stone statues with raised hands and a large black stone Nandi bull draped in marigold garlands on a red-orange pedestal. A saffron flag stands nearby, along with a tall decorated pole and a standing bystander in a light shirt at left. A green-and-white map board is visible at left. The figure's hair is tied back and appears to be a shaved-or-short-cropped style under this view; the identity is uncertain.
