Outdoor scene beside a gravel riverbank with a fast-flowing stream, strings of colourful prayer flags above, and a red umbrella held overhead. A man seated on an ornate gilded throne-like chair wears saffron-orange robes with a dark head covering and a rudraksha mala. Around him sit devotees on a red patterned rug: a woman in a blue jacket holds up a food offering on a plate, a woman with sunglasses and a grey-blue hat sits nearby, and others in orange scarves, white and orange sun hats, and purple hats listen or join palms in namaste. Plates of food are on the rug. The seated man is an appearance-based probable candidate for a person with the cues of saffron robes and rudraksha mala, and he is physically present.
