A seated person in saffron-orange robes with gold borders and a white forehead band with red bindi sits on the grass at dusk, wearing a long garland of white jasmine and magenta roses. Their hand is being held by another person wearing grey clothing, while a standing devotee in orange robes watches with folded hands. Before them lie marigold garlands, a basket of apples and bananas, small clay bowls of rice, red kumkum and grain, a clay lamp with a flame, and a leafy grass offering. This appears to be a puja or padapuja ritual, with the seated person central and the setting outdoors beneath a tree trunk.
