A man seated cross-legged in meditation on a raised circular platform of earth, edged with small pebbles and white floral rangoli patterns. He wears an orange saffron dress with a leopard-print shawl over his shoulders and a dark rudraksha mala around his neck, eyes closed and hands resting in his lap. Behind him stand a large black stone Shiva lingam draped with a garland, an orange-red pedestal, dark stone deity murtis and a tall ornate kalasha-like finial. Palm trees and a brass pot sit nearby, and red name placards are set in the ground. The a person candidate has a compatible presentation with saffron clothing, leopard shawl and rudraksha mala, though the face is not used for identification; the surrounding scene is an outdoor ashram shrine.
