Outdoor ritual scene beside a tall polished copper pillar wrapped with dried straw and green leaves, with thick ropes running upward. A man with long dark dreadlocks, a dark beard and a red-and-yellow marigold garland wears a rust-brown robe and a gold-toned rudraksha-style necklace; he reaches up to touch the head of a second man with long black hair, bare shoulders and white markings, who wears an orange lower cloth. Behind them a small gilded deity murti sits in a copper shrine decorated with white and red flower garlands, and a partly visible person sits at the lower right. Palm fronds and a blurred sky fill the background.
