Outdoor scene under a green canopy with a red umbrella and colourful tassels. A person in an orange robe and orange turban sits on a rock draped with garlands of marigolds, roses and white jasmine, smiling and wearing a flower garland. Surrounding devotees in white dhotis and orange shawls, some with rudraksha malas, stand around, and a woman in a white and green sari with a flower in her hair bows toward the seated figure. A palm frond stands in the centre. Appearance cues (orange robe, turban, garlands) suggest the seated figure may be a person, but the identification is uncertain from the image alone.
