Outdoors beside a palm tree, a man with long swept-back dark hair and a tilak on his forehead wears an orange saffron robe and a long dark rudraksha mala. He holds a small brass bowl or dish toward an ornate copper-coloured shrine or deity structure decorated with a garland of yellow and orange marigolds and red flowers. A man in white dhoti with red-bordered cloth stands at the right edge, pouring or assisting at the shrine. Wrapped ropes and dried straw bundles hang near the garland.
