Outdoor ritual scene at dusk on a dirt ground beside a concrete-block building and palm trees. A slim person with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala stands centre-left in a rust-red garment with gold border, pointing one hand upward and smiling. Beside them a man in white dhoti with folded hands bows in greeting, and a bare-chested younger man in white dhoti stands at right beside a metal drum. Behind, a line of people in red and orange robes and gold-bordered saris stands watching. On the right a white-draped table holds a silver bowl, a brass figure, a kalasha-like vessel and ritual objects. Several people in the background wear white or red attire.
