A photo of a man seated in meditation in front of a white pedestal bearing a dark stone Nandi bull statue garlanded with red, yellow and white flower garlands. He wears a saffron-orange shawl drawn over his head and shoulders and a long rudraksha mala, with a red tilak on his forehead, eyes closed. Smoke drifts across the scene, and palm trees and greenery stand behind. A partially visible person in white is at the right edge. The statue is a deity murti, not a person.
