Outdoors under a leafy tree, a bearded man in a maroon-red turban with a crescent ornament and a rust-red robe stands with palms pressed together at chest level and eyes closed. He wears a white-and-pink flower garland, a thick rudraksha mala, and gold ceremonial necklaces. Beside him stands a tall brass oil lamp with a bird-shaped finial, and a flower-wrapped pillar of yellow, white and red blossoms rises at right. Around him, devotees in white, saffron-orange and teal stand with hands folded, watching. A man in a white dhoti and a woman in orange also stand near him.
