Outdoor scene at a temple-style building with arched white columns and red stacking chairs. A woman in a white sari with red border holds a brass aarti tray with a coconut, leaves, flowers and an oil lamp, smiling. A central figure with long dark hair wears a red sleeveless top, orange-saffron dhoti-style garment and a red-and-white flower garland, standing barefoot on the step. A man in white kneels at the threshold, touching the ground with his hand. A boy in a white t-shirt and denim shorts with a black bead necklace watches.
