Outdoor evening ritual on a lawn in front of a building with warm lights. A man with long dreadlocked hair, wearing a rust-red dhoti and a thick garland of white and red flowers, stands at the centre holding ritual items in his hands and smiling. Behind him, several young men in white dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas stand in a line, and orange-clad attendants stand with drums. On the left, a tall brass oil lamp with many tiers of lamps is visible, and offerings are arranged below it. Several people in orange robes with long hair stand together in the background. The appearance of the central figure with his long hair, garland and ornate necklace is consistent with the a person label, but the presence of similar-looking attendants means appearance alone is not conclusive.

Around him, men in white dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas walk, some carrying a red staff and one with a bare chest and gold armband. Behind them stand people in saffron-orange robes, drums and cloth bundles are visible on the right, and the background shows a gilded panel and white-walled stage area.
