Outdoor photo on a rocky hillside setting with green shrubs and a dry hill behind. A barefoot man in red-orange ceremonial dress stands on a mat, wearing a white jasmine garland, a rudraksha-style bead necklace and gold armlets, with long dark hair, one arm extended toward the hill. Beside him a white-clad attendant in an orange cloth holds a silver tray of white flowers. In front are a row of brass pots and a large brass vessel, with flower garlands on the ground. Two cushioned seats stand on the right. The scene suggests a puja or pada puja at a sacred hill.
