Outdoor ritual scene beside a tall reddish-brown earthen embankment. A bearded man with long dark braided hair and rimless glasses wears a deep orange-red kurta and maroon-red dhoti, holding a small terracotta pot in his left hand while his right hand sprinkles or pours liquid toward the earth wall. Behind him, a shaved-headed attendant in orange wrap and white sacred thread stands beside a bare-chested attendant with a rudraksha-style necklace and orange dhoti, who holds up a yellow-and-orange ceremonial umbrella with fringed colourful edging. A figure in white dhoti stands further back. A mound of grey soil lies in the foreground. Orange gates and a white wall stand in the background.
