Outdoors under a bright blue sky and palm trees, a tall ornate copper kalasha-shaped column stands on a stepped pedestal, garlanded with marigold and red flower strings and topped with green grass and leaves. A figure in a rust-red robe with a red flower garland and a dark cap raises a hand toward the column, while an attendant in white dhoti with gold border and an orange-clad priest, holding a brass tray, stand beside it. A red and gold parasol shades the scene. The figure appears to be a person, a sannyasi in saffron-red robe with a garland, performing a ritual at the column.
