He has a red tilak on his forehead and a draped orange shawl over his shoulders. Behind him, a second man in white and another person sit on the ground amid grey ash or smoke. A brass kalasha-style vessel with a spout stands in front of the platform. Grey stone deity murtis with tall crowns and garlands flank the scene, and green shrubs with red flowers and a wooden fence frame the background.
