A standing man in an orange-and-green silk veshti with a green border and an orange shawl, a rudraksha mala with a red and orange bead, and a red bindi, stands with his palms pressed together in a namaste-like gesture at an open-sided orange-walled hall with a corrugated roof decorated with leaf garlands. To the left, a bronze-coloured deity murti sits beside a seated figure in yellow clothing. Green and red mats lie on the concrete floor, with a steel pot and a turquoise bucket nearby. The scene looks like a ritual or satsang area; the standing man's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance.
