Outdoors beneath a large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots, a man with a vibhuti tilak and a yellow-and-green flower garland stands on a stone-paved path holding a brass bell and a small vessel as part of a ritual offering. Beside him, a large gilded statue of a seated figure in an orange shawl and a magenta-and-gold turban is heavily adorned with pink and yellow flower garlands and a silver necklace. Behind it, a bare-chested man in an orange cloth with a rudraksha mala stands with his hands folded in a respectful gesture. A yellow cloth hangs behind the statue, with a gold pedestal decorated with flowers in front.
