Outdoor scene at a temple event under a striped green-and-yellow canopy. In the foreground, a man in saffron-orange clothing wearing a green leafy garland is greeted by an older bald man bare-chested with white ash markings, a red cloth draped over one shoulder and a red tilak on his forehead, who is smiling and raising his hands toward him. Between them a metal vessel is visible. Behind them, men in white dhotis and cream kurtas stand among onlookers, and orange flags, red pillars and a tall temple gopuram are visible.
