A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate carved wooden throne-like chair behind a white stone platform where a fire or smoke rises in the foreground, with marigold petals scattered at its base. Two men in white dhotis and white kurtas stand in the background, one wearing a yellow shawl, and a woman in a white top and dark bag walks past on the right. A low stone boundary wall, palm trees and a hazy sky form the outdoor setting.
