To the left, an older man in white clothes and an orange shawl stands with palms pressed together in greeting. Two men in white shirts and orange shawls stand at right, one gesturing toward the walking figure. Shoes and a white sack lie on the ground by the plants, and a few more people in white and orange appear in the background.

Long dark hair falls past his shoulders, and a dark rudraksha mala hangs at his chest. Behind him are black stone sculptures of nagas and a Nandi bull garlanded with yellow and red flowers on a red pedestal. Palm trees, a circular sand mandala bordered with white stones, and a woven mat laid over sand complete the scene. A man in white stands in the background.

Behind him are grey stone sculptures, a trident-topped red pole, palm trees and dry ground with white and yellow floor decorations.
