Outdoors at dusk before an illuminated stone temple with carved walls, strings of lights hanging from its facade and pink lighting. In the foreground, a man in a red-maroon turban and maroon-and-gold wrap wears a large gold pendant on a thick gold chain over red-brown beads, and he gestures with one arm. Beside him a bare-chested man in cream dhoti holds a tray of ritual items. Behind them an elderly woman in orange robes and a rudraksha-style bead mala walks, and at right a man in orange head cloth, glasses and orange shawl holds a small brass vessel. Several other people in orange garments and a row of figures in orange and pink appear in the background near black railings. The gold pendant-wearing figure has distinctive adornments and a turban, but the page-based identity is uncertain.
