A temple scene in which a bare-chested man in orange dhoti and saffron cloth bends forward to light a brass oil lamp on a wet stone floor. He wears a long strand of wooden rudraksha beads and a white bandage on his upper arm. Behind him, a man in saffron robes with prayer hands stands beside a carved stone shrine wall with brass vessels and a bell. Other saffron-robed people stand at the edges, and a white-clad man is further back. In the foreground are a brass tray with green leaves, marigold garlands and red flowers, a brass Ganesha figure and a brass kalasha on a red-and-white rangoli. This appears to be a puja in a temple setting.
