A man sits cross-legged in meditation on a wooden platform on sandy ground, eyes closed, hands resting in his lap. He wears a loose orange saffron robe draped over one shoulder and a long necklace of dark rudraksha beads, with a red tilak mark on his forehead and long swept-back hair. Behind him stands a dark stone deity murti adorned with yellow and red marigold garlands and shell beads. A second man in white clothes with a yellow shawl sits with eyes closed to the right, beside an orange-and-grey bag. The setting is outdoors near a white stone platform with palm trees behind. Whether this is a person is uncertain from appearance alone, so the identity is not asserted.
