He has his palms pressed together in prayer and wears multiple layers of rudraksha beads around his neck and arms. Before him in the sand lie a bunch of bananas, a few green limes, scattered orange and red flower petals, and a small metal cup. Beside him, a bare-chested man with a black turban-style hairstyle and white ash markings sits in white dhoti with gold borders, also with rudraksha. A brass pot and another seated person in white appear at the left edge, and a person's hands holding a red-bordered cloth appear at the right.
