Outdoors on a rocky hillside, a smiling man in an orange turban, orange robe with gold border and a long yellow-and-red marigold garland sits cross-legged on a flower-covered stone seat ringed with red and yellow petals. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti bends low to touch his bare feet in reverence. Behind them, devotees in white and orange shawls stand under colourful striped and yellow umbrellas, with dry hills and green trees in the background. The scene suggests a devotee's padapuja at a hilltop site.
