A bearded man in a rust-red robe with a white and pink flower garland stands with both hands clasped above his head, eyes closed, a tilak on his forehead, in a paved outdoor courtyard. Behind him, a man bare-chested with layered rudraksha malas and gold pendants holds a gold-handled, multicoloured fringed parasol over him, while another man in a white dhoti with gold border stands beside. Two more figures in red and cream robes stand with palms together in the background, under palm trees. The scene suggests a ceremonial rite with a parasol canopy.
