A man with long dark hair sits cross-legged in meditation with eyes closed on an orange cushion over a woven mat, inside a raised circular platform decorated with white floral kolam-style patterns and dark gravel. He wears an orange saffron wrap, a red bindi and a long dark rudraksha mala. Behind him stands a black Nandi bull statue draped in a garland of red, yellow and purple flowers, on an orange stepped pedestal beneath a tall copper-clad pillar. A brass kalasha vessel sits at his left, and palm trees and stone statues surround the outdoor temple garden. Ascetic-style clothing and a meditation setting suggest a satsang or meditation scene; he appears as a probable Swamiji by his long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala.
