A standing man in a rust-red and saffron-bordered dhoti and shawl, with a dark rudraksha-style mala around his neck, grips two orange ropes hanging from a tall copper temple bell pillar. The ornate copper pillar has a carved tree motif, a dome-shaped finial, and a deeply carved lotus-petal base. Behind him, palm trees fill the background, and a seated person in red-orange clothing is partly visible at the right edge. The man is bare-chested apart from the wrapped cloth and appears to be ringing or setting the bell.
