A man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on an orange cushion in an open courtyard, eyes closed, hands resting in his lap, with a rudraksha mala around his neck and a shawl drawn over his head. Behind him a large black Nandi bull statue wears a red and yellow marigold garland atop a white pedestal. Two women in white and orange sit on the grey ash-covered ground, and a brass kalasha with a cup stands beside the seated man in a ring of ash. Dark stone deity sculptures and palm trees fill the background under a hazy sky, with smoke rising around the scene.
