A figure seen from behind stands on a paved courtyard facing a field of dark stone statues, including seated deity figures and what appear to be Shiva lingams on pedestals. The person wears a saffron-orange dhoti and upper cloth with a gold-coloured border, a gold waist sash, gold armlets and a long garland of white and red flowers with green leaves draped over the shoulders and head. Behind them stand orange-painted buildings, green and blue screens, and a forested hill under misty sky. A camera operator is visible at the right edge. The person's identity is not established from appearance, so the a person field is unsure.
