A bearded man with long dreadlocked hair sits on a granite step beside an ornate brass vessel with embossed floral and figural relief. He wears a red-orange cloth draped over his shoulders and a red thread on his wrist, with a red mark on his forehead and white tilak. He wears white gloves and holds a long stick with a flame at its tip, lighting a small fire or lamp on the ground beside him. A wooden stool with a red cloth sits near him, and a water bottle is nearby. Behind him stands a second person in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala. A red-painted wall and stone pillar marked VC 10 frame the scene.
