A seated figure in a red-orange robe with a yellow-gold shawl and a gold-and-yellow garland sits cross-legged on a flat boulder, hands in a gesture, with a bank of flower petals before them. In the foreground, a bald man with his back partly turned wears an orange robe with a gold border and holds a small brass bell and a lamp near the seated figure. Behind them rises a rocky, tree-covered hill under a pale sky, with green shrubs and a red-and-gold patterned cloth on a stand at right. The scene suggests an outdoor puja at the foot of the hill.
