Outdoor temple-garden scene with a long-haired man in a saffron-orange sleeveless robe and a black rudraksha mala walking barefoot along a woven mat path beside a raised platform draped in orange and purple cloth. Behind him stands a tall copper pillar on an orange base, stone deity sculptures, palm trees and a bamboo pole with a striped banner. A bald man in a white dhoti and shawl with red border, holding a walking cane, follows beside him. Floor kolam designs and a small brass lamp are visible on the ground. Swamiji (probable): the long-haired figure in saffron with a rudraksha mala matches the candidate cues, while the white-clad man is a priest or attendant.
