A seated figure with long dark dreadlocked hair and a beard, bare-shouldered with a red garment and a gold necklace, sits smiling in profile beside an ornate silver-toned stand or vessel with a domed lid. A hand holding a thin metal instrument appears at the left edge. Behind them, a person in white with red-bordered clothing has hands pressed together in prayer, and a figure in purple stands in the blurred background before dark drapes. The setting appears to be a ritual preparation or puja.
