A seated figure in orange-saffron robes and a long dark rudraksha mala sits cross-legged in meditation on a flat stone seat at the centre of a circular ring of dark pebbles. The ground is decorated with white dotted rangoli-style circles and floral motifs. Behind him stand dark stone sculptures of deities and a Nandi-like bull figure on a red-orange pedestal, garlanded with marigolds, and a tall red-orange shrine base with a kalasha-type top. Hanging colourful tassels and palm trees frame the outdoor temple grounds, with a painted panel of figures visible at the far left. Mats lie on the ground around the seat.
