Outdoor street scene in daylight with a crowd gathered on a dirt road. In the centre, a man with long dark hair, wearing a sleeveless saffron-orange garment, leans forward with his head bowed while a woman in a blue sari and blue shawl holds a small offering dish. A man on the left holds up a long garland of yellow, red and white flowers, and several onlookers in white shirts and a woman in an orange-bordered sari stand nearby. Palm trees and small shacks appear in the background. The appearance of the central figure in saffron with long hair and a flower garland is a person match, though the identification is not certain.
