Three men in saffron and orange ochre robes walk along a white-edged path lined with flat stepping stones beneath a large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. The central man in front wears a rust-brown dhoti with gold borders and a long orange-marigold garland with gold beads, his eyes closed and a red tilak on his forehead. A second man behind wears a bright yellow-orange dhoti with pink borders and a white forehead band. A third man at left, partly turned, wears orange cloth with his hands folded. A dark stone shivalinga-like black object and a red stone sit to the right near a red mat. Sandy ground and stone benches complete the outdoor setting.
