Night outdoor ritual scene. A man with a tall black turban-style hairstyle and a crescent ornament on his head sits cross-legged on a silver throne-like seat draped with a striped tiger-print cloth. He wears an orange-red sleeveless garment, multiple rudraksha malas, a gold necklace, and beaded wrist bands, with vibhuti on his forehead. His hands rest together in his lap, eyes closed in meditation. In front of him are brass and silver bowls of yellow turmeric paste, green herb sprigs, a stone pestle and mortar, and a brass deity figure holding a lamp. To the right stands an ornate silver peetha/throne decorated with flower garlands, and banana plants and a microphone stand fill the background.
