A barefoot person in a flowing saffron-orange garment walks away from the camera across a sandy courtyard. The figure has long dark hair and a sleeveless orange wrap draped over one shoulder, with a red and white garland hanging near the neck. Behind them stands a dark grey stone statue of a seated animal mount with a red garland, and further back a grey stone deity figure holding a staff. To the right, an orange-painted plinth supports a bronze-coloured kalasha or temple finial decorated with yellow and purple flower garlands. Palm trees and greenery fill the background, and white kolam patterns are drawn on the ground near the feet.
