Outdoor ritual scene with smoke drifting through the air. In the foreground a man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits before a small brick fire pit with a metal vessel and offerings; a rudraksha mala and an orange lanyard hang on his chest. Behind him, rows of saffron-clad devotees sit with their heads bowed, and several tall framed posters honoured with yellow marigold garlands show the Basaveshwara and Sarvajna saints in seated and standing forms. A seated man in orange on the right wears a smaller orange rosette. The setting is an open-air pavilion with orange and red decor.
