A bare-chested man with his hair pulled back stands beside a tall wooden temple structure, gripping a rope with his raised left hand while his right arm extends outward, pointing toward the right. He wears layered red flower garlands across his chest, a rudraksha mala with a large ceremonial gold pendant, and gold armbands and bangles. Behind him, palm fronds and a pale sky frame the scene, and garlands of white flowers hang on the temple structure at left.
