A man in an orange saffron robe sits cross-legged in meditation on a low wooden seat with an orange cushion, on a sandy ground outlined with grey stone chips. His hands rest in his lap and his eyes are closed. A rudraksha mala hangs around his neck and his long hair falls past his shoulders. Beside him is a brass kalasha vessel, and a garlanded black stone deity murti with a white pedestal stands at the right, decorated with yellow, red and purple flower garlands. Other stone sculptures and palm trees stand behind him, and a woman in white sits at the left edge. Kolam-style patterns are drawn on the ground.

Behind him stand large grey stone deity murtis, including a cobra-hooded sculpture, and a tall white structure appears at the right edge. Two women in white and red saris sit further back in the courtyard, and grey ash or burnt residue covers the ground between them. Smoke drifts around the seated man.
