A rocky, shrub-covered hillside in dry landscape under a pale cloudy sky. In the foreground, a flat stone holds a small framed portrait of a figure in orange-red clothing, shaded by a multicoloured parasol with a decorated fringe, with a garland of red and white flowers draped below and a brass lamp beside it. Pink flowers and a plate of offerings sit on a striped woven mat. To the right, a second framed portrait with an orange-red shrine canopy and a parasol stands among rocks, and a red flag with a black emblem flies from a bare tree. No people are visible.

In the lower right, a framed photograph of a long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes and a gold necklace, wearing a garland of red flowers, is set on an orange cloth under a multicoloured ceremonial umbrella with a blue emblem. Two people in white stand beside it, one partly visible at the right edge.
