Outdoor temple-garden scene among trees and sandy ground. A figure in saffron-orange dhoti and wrap with gold border, wearing a multi-strand gold necklace, gold armbands and a long swept-back hair, leans forward with one hand on a tree trunk and holds a slender rod. Beside them a shaved-headed man in orange garment and rudraksha mala stands watching. Behind them are small black stone deity forms on red-and-white pedestals, one with a red cloth, and a palm plant in a red pot. The figure's appearance with long hair, saffron clothing and multiple gold ornaments gives a person candidate role, while the standing man is a devotee or sannyasi. Several white-clad people are visible in the background.
