Outdoor night scene beneath a large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. A long-haired man in a saffron-orange shawl and dhoti, wearing a white and red flower garland, a gold necklace and a gold bracelet, smiles and raises his hand near a man in white clothing with white tripundra on his forehead. Two other men in orange robes stand nearby, one with curly hair partly visible, and a leaf-covered offering is held in the foreground. The man in the garland has a red bindi and a rudraksha-style gold ornament, with a person identification based on his long swept hair, saffron clothing and gold necklace cues.
