A shaven-headed priest in white dhoti and shawl with a red-and-gold trim sits cross-legged on a low wooden platform in a courtyard, holding incense sticks with rising smoke. Beaded rudraksha-style mala necklaces hang at his chest. Before him sit a small brass lamp, a brass cup, a tray of red flower petals and a silver lamp stand. The ground in the foreground is covered with rows of small white and red flower offerings on orange cloth. Behind him, a red-and-white striped wall, a potted palm and a bag are visible, and a woman in a white sari stands in a doorway at left. The priest's appearance does not clearly match the page's description, so he is described only as a priest performing a puja-style offering.
