He sits on a mat within a circular stone-edged pit filled with gravel, surrounded by yellow and white floral rangoli patterns, with a brass kalasha-style pot beside him. Behind him stands a dark stone Shiva linga draped with marigold garlands, set on a red-orange pedestal, with a tall copper pillar rising above. Coconut palms, black stone deity statues and small stupa-like shrines fill the background. A large yellow-orange star-shaped flower rangoli lies in the foreground. Red placards are set beside the statues.
