Outdoors under a large banyan tree with sweeping aerial roots, a man in saffron-orange dhoti and a bare upper body, wearing a white flower garland, holds a lit oil lamp toward a dark stone statue. The seated statue, dressed in white cloth with a red border, wears thick garlands of yellow, red and white flowers and a white headpiece. A small black stone object with marigold garlands sits at its base on a brick platform. Sandy ground and distant trees and huts fill the background. The man's face is not visible, so no identity is claimed.
