In the foreground a young woman with long dark hair wears a white garment with an orange-red shawl and sits with eyes closed, hands in a mudra on her lap. Behind her a woman in cream and light-brown wrap sits in a circular bed of grey ash. A large black Nandi bull statue draped with a yellow and red marigold garland stands on the white platform, with palm trees and a small shed behind. Several more seated devotees in white and orange clothing and a standing attendant appear in the background, with the ash-marked circles of a pancha tapas fire ritual.
