Outdoors, a group of people gathers around a freshly planted sapling set in a circular bed of red soil ringed with white bricks. A long-haired man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala and white-painted forehead kneels and tends the young plant with both hands, while a second orange-robed man beside him and a man in white shirt and dhoti pour water from a clay pot onto the soil. Behind them, devotees in white dhotis and shirts hold a kalasha-like pot, flowers and a tray of offerings. A bucket of water sits in the lower right. The scene suggests a tree-planting ceremony.
