Outdoors beside a shallow forest stream, a bald man in white kurta with an orange-and-red printed shawl and rudraksha mala stands at left, eyes lowered, as a robed figure seated on a silver-trimmed throne applies a mark to his forehead with a finger. The seated figure wears a red-orange turban with white floral ornament, a thick white jasmine garland over a large rudraksha mala with a gold pendant, gold armbands and bangles, and a red-orange wrap. An orange umbrella shades them, and a man in white photographs from the water behind. Lush green foliage surrounds the scene.
