A bearded man with long dark matted hair stands barefoot on a stone ledge with palms pressed together overhead in a salute, eyes closed. He wears a rust-orange draped cloth over his bare upper body and an orange dhoti. A white tilak mark is on his forehead and a red thread on his wrist. Behind him, red-orange robed figures sit on tiered red steps, and red flags with yellow emblems stand beside metal railings. A dark clay vessel is at the right edge. The setting appears to be a temple or ghat during daylight.
