A man in orange robes and garlands of white jasmine and red flowers sits on a low wooden seat, holding a silver ceremonial staff upright with one hand while a devotee bathes his feet from a brass plate of water and offerings. A shaved-headed monk in orange with rudraksha beads sits beside him. A woman in a purple shawl and a man in white shirt and white dhoti kneel nearby, and another person in grey kneels in the foreground. A man in white dhoti and gold-bordered shawl stands in the background. The seated figure appears to be a person, identified by the garlands, orange robes and rudraksha cues.
