Outdoor ritual scene beside a reddish-brown ornate temple tower with carved details and a palm frond overhead. A man with long dark hair, wearing a rust-red robe, multiple garlands of white jasmine, red roses and gold-beaded flowers, a gold pendant, rudraksha bracelets and armbands, raises a small flower in his right hand. Beside him, an attendant in orange robes holds silver bowls with offerings and an orange cloth, while a second attendant in an orange garment stands at right. Green trees fill the background. Swamiji (probable) appearance: long swept-back hair, ornate gold and rudraksha adornments and ceremonial garlands, consistent with an in-person candidate performing a temple offering.
