Outdoors near a white building with a maroon signboard reading Shri Ashram, a man in a red-orange shawl draped over his shoulders and bare-armed stands beside a white stepped platform with rising smoke, gripping a long wooden pole. He wears a long rudraksha mala, a white forehead mark, and his hair is tied up. Behind him a man in white clothes and an orange garment stands, and another person in white sits at the right near marigold plants. Green trees and a sunny sky frame the scene. The rising smoke suggests a fire ritual at the platform.
