Outdoor scene at a temple grounds surrounded by green trees. In the foreground a bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair, white tilak on his forehead and a white flower garland at his neck, raises his right arm toward a large dark stone deity murti on the right. Behind him several men in white shirts and a woman in a teal sari stand watching, one man with hands folded in prayer and another holding a cane. A smaller dark sculpture stands in the background. The appearance of the foreground figure is an appearance-based candidate only: the long hair, bare chest, tilak and garland are visible, but the identity is uncertain, so this is a person performing an act of worship before a murti.
