Outdoors under a pale sky with palm trees behind, a man in a red-orange turban and rust-coloured silk dhoti with gold border stands at a large copper kalasha on a green-covered platform, one hand resting on its top and the other on his chest. He wears a white and red-orange flower garland and a rudraksha mala. A second man in a rust dhoti with gold border, bald and wearing glasses, stands behind holding a long red staff and a brass tray. Orange and red flags and a banana plant are visible. The scene suggests a kumbhabhishekam or consecration rite. Candidate for a person by appearance is probable but uncertain given the long-distance view and turban.
