A man in saffron-orange dhoti and a bare upper body stands beside a tree trunk wrapped in pink bougainvillea and yellow marigold garlands. He wears long white and red flower garlands and a thick gold necklace, holds a silver oil lamp with a visible flame in one hand and a small silver bell in the other, and has a white vibhuti line on his forehead. Behind him are a stone platform and green trees. The scene looks like an outdoor puja or aarti at a tree. Whether the man is a person cannot be determined from appearance here, so the figure is described by role only.
