A seated figure in orange-saffron robes and an orange turban, wearing a white-and-red floral garland and gold bangles, reaches toward a row of potted green saplings set among large grey stones on green carpet. Beside him a bald man in white ceremonial clothes with a red garland bends forward smiling, and a younger man in a cream kurta holds a banana while kneeling. Trays of bananas, gold bangles and rudraksha malas sit on a wooden box in the foreground, with a woman in red-beaded jewellery partly visible at the bottom edge. Women in white and gold-bordered saris stand in the background beside an air conditioner. The scene suggests a planting or tree-offering ritual.
