Outdoors under a metal canopy, a man in an orange-saffron robe and a wrapped orange shawl sits cross-legged in meditation on a raised mat with eyes closed, hands resting on his knees. Rudraksha mala beads hang around his neck. Behind him stands a large black Nandi bull statue garlanded with orange-yellow marigolds, in front of a tall red-orange pillar and palm trees. A brass kalasha pot sits on the mat beside him, and a green cloth lies nearby. Around the platform are pink flower-petal rangoli designs and gravel, with black stone statues of standing figures on the left.
