Outdoor ashram path lined with trees and shrubs, with a woven mat runner laid along a stone walkway. A man with long dark hair, orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, and a large red and white flower garland walks barefoot toward the right, with a gold ceremonial necklace and a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him, three men carry brass plates of offerings; one in white dhoti and shawl, two in orange-saffron robes with rudraksha malas. A red-and-pink cloth lies on the mat and a dark stone linga-like form sits near the lower left corner beside a stone bench. Whether the garlanded central figure is the a person candidate cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
