A seated man in saffron-orange robes meditates outdoors on an orange-red platform in front of a large black Nandi bull statue garlanded with yellow and orange marigolds. He wears a rudraksha mala and a red tilak on his forehead, hands resting in his lap. Behind him stands a copper-coloured pillar and palm trees, with black stone deity statues and small shrines around the courtyard. A brass kalasha sits to his left on a woven mat, with flower petals scattered on a circular rangoli-style pattern of grey gravel. The seated man's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person but is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm, so identity is uncertain.
