Outdoor temple veranda scene with a man in orange sannyasi robes and a rudraksha mala standing centre-left, long dark hair swept back, extending his hands toward an older man in white dhoti and shawl with red border who touches his cheek and mouth. Behind them a painted blue-and-yellow pillar with orange flower motifs, a white-clad figure and an orange-robed attendant stand nearby, with onlookers and a child in the background and carved golden temple structures at right. A ceiling fan and white carved railings frame the scene. Ritual greeting or blessing atmosphere; orange-robed sannyasi is an appearance-based a person candidate.
