Outdoor scene on bare dirt under dappled tree shade. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange turban sits in a folding chair with hands pressed together in namaskar, smiling. A man in a blue checked shirt and grey trousers kneels and bows forehead-first to the feet of the seated figure. Behind them a ring of standing men in white shirts and trousers, some barefoot, watch the padapuja-style gesture. The seated figure wears a saffron-orange robe and a beaded mala.
