A woman in a maroon and rust-coloured garment with a white flower garland over her shoulder raises a handful of red flowers toward a golden-brown statue of a sannyasi wearing an orange and maroon turban, a rudraksha mala, and a white and red flower garland. The statue has its palms joined in a greeting gesture. Behind her a man in white clothing films with a handheld camera, another person in white stands at the right, and an open-sided structure with a red brick wall and trees forms the outdoor setting. Brass ornaments are visible at the lower right. The statue is a depiction, not a physical person.
