A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on a low wooden platform in an outdoor setting, eyes closed, hands resting in his lap in meditation. He wears a long mala of rudraksha beads, a red tilak on his forehead, and long hair swept back. Behind him stands a dark stone deity murti draped with a garland of yellow and red flowers, set on a white tiered pedestal. A brass kalasha sits to the left on the ground, and incense smoke drifts through the frame. Four other people in white clothes with yellow shawls sit in meditation in the background among palm trees, two near the pedestal and two to the right.
