Outdoor ceremony under trees with a crowd of devotees standing behind a stone-paved area. In the centre, a man in a maroon turban with a crescent-moon ornament stands with palms pressed together in prayer, wearing a pink-and-white flower garland, a dark brown rudraksha-style mala, layered gold necklaces and gold bangles, with a maroon dhoti. Behind him are devotees in orange and saffron robes, a man in white with a shawl, and women in saris. A large brass oil lamp with a tall stem stands in the left foreground, with scattered flower petals on the stones. A person at left holds a bundle of yellow flowers. The scene suggests a puja or padapuja honouring a guru.
