Evening outdoor scene on a paved walkway. A man with long dark hair, hoop earring and a brown dhoti-style garment with a gold border, wearing a long multicolour flower garland of red, yellow and white blooms, stands facing right toward a young person in orange and red robes with an orange head wrap. Behind them a white-clad figure stands among trees, and a flame glows at left beside a person holding a gold staff in orange robes. Striped colourful mats lie on the ground to the right. The man's identity is not established from appearance, so the a person field is unsure.
