A ritual scene inside a temple. A shirtless young priest in orange robes and an orange turban stands at left, holding a leaf-wrapped offering over a woven basket of red and white items on a metal stand. Beaded rudraksha-style malas hang on his chest. Opposite him, a bare-chested man in a maroon cloth sits with a thick multicolour garland of red, yellow and white flowers, gold armband and earrings, and a white vibhuti line on his forehead, reaching out toward the offering. A stone sculpture and a carved pillar stand in the background. Two more orange-clad attendants are partly visible at the left edge. Ritual appears to be a puja or abhishekam-style offering.
