Outdoor scene at a rocky hillside shrine. A framed portrait of a long-haired man in saffron robes, wearing a rudraksha mala and ceremonial necklace and garlanded with red and white flowers, sits on an orange-draped platform under a multicoloured canopy decorated with emblems and tassels. A palm frond stands beside it and flower garlands lie on the rocks in front. Two people approach: one in an orange shawl and white dhoti, and another in a white shirt and dark trousers. The portrait depicts a figure, so it is not a live person. a person identification is based on the printed portrait rather than any physical person present.

Outdoors on a rocky hillside among shrubs and palms, a framed portrait of a long-haired man in orange robes and a rudraksha-style garland sits on an orange-draped stand beneath a colourful canopy with blue and white emblems, decorated with a red flower garland. In front, a man in an orange dhoti and orange shawl holds a lamp or arati plate toward the portrait. Beside him, a man in white kurta and yellow shawl films with a video camera.
