A man stands outdoors on grass beside a large teal industrial machine with rusted steel supports. He is bare-chested with white horizontal tripundra markings on his forehead and arms, wearing an orange dhoti with a red border and a red sash, and long dark dreadlocks with rudraksha malas on his neck and wrists. He bends forward holding a brass plate with a small flame and offering in his left hand, while his right hand holds a white flower-like offering. Brass oil lamps, incense sticks and offerings sit on a cloth on the ground at the lower left. The scene appears to be a puja or aarti performed outdoors.
