Night-time outdoor scene beneath a large banyan tree at what appears to be an open shrine area. A priest with bare upper body, wearing a red dhoti, stands at centre holding a lit flame on a small brass lamp (aarti) and a bell near a silver kalasha-style vessel on the ground. Around him stand about six devotees with hands folded in namaskar: an ochre-robed man on the left in orange saffron cloth, a man in a maroon checked shirt, and several men in white dhotis and shirts. To the right sits a large dark stone deity murti of a seated figure in white cloth with a gold-and-white headdress, and in front of the murti stands a smaller white-clothed figure with a golden staff-like object. Flower offerings and cloth bundles lie on the ground.
