Outdoor temple scene under tall trees with reddish earth. On the left, a man with long dark swept-back hair stands barefoot on a small mat, wearing an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with gold borders and a beaded necklace; he holds his hands together near his chest. Behind him, a second man in orange-and-yellow robes with a shaved head holds a leash to a black dog walking across a stone pathway. On the right, a black stone murti of Ganesha, seated with four arms, wears a red cloth on its head, beaded garlands and an orange-and-gold draped hanging, set within a white carved arched shrine framed by green fabric. The base is heaped with red kumkum-coloured offerings, and a small stone bench sits nearby.
