Outdoors on a hillside among trees and shrubs, a large rounded rock is draped with a white cloth and encircled by a long garland of white, yellow, pink and purple flowers with green leaves. Above it stands a colourful canopy with blue, red, orange and green panels, white bird motifs, and fringed tassels. Several devotees in white clothes with orange scarves stand around; a man in front wears a white kurta, orange shawl and a pendant necklace, arms at his sides. A man in a white garment bends over the rock, and a woman in a sari with a bag stands nearby. A village with palm trees lies below in the background.
