Outdoors in a palm-filled compound, a black stone Nandi bull statue sits on a white pedestal, draped with a garland of yellow, orange and red flowers. In the centre a seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with a long swept-back hairstyle, a red tilak on the forehead and a rudraksha mala, eyes closed, sits in meditation. Behind him two men in white dhotis with yellow shawls sit cross-legged on the sand, and a further seated man in white stands nearby. Two white pigeons walk on the pale stone pavement in the foreground, and smoke or haze drifts in the background.
