Outdoor ritual scene beside a red-and-white painted pole and a red wall, with a striped pink, teal and blue mat on paving. A man in a rust-red dhoti-style garment and rudraksha mala with gold ornaments leans forward, hands cupped over a shallow excavated pit in the ground, apparently placing or lifting something. Behind him, a second man with pink flower garland and gold pendant stands with palms pressed together in prayer, wearing a red shawl and a forehead marking. Green trees and a cow appear in the background.
