A man in an orange-red sannyasi robe and rudraksha mala sits cross-legged in meditation on a raised circular platform of stone and gravel, with a brass kalasha beside him and pink floral kolam designs marking the ground around the circle. Behind him stands a tall copper-coloured dhvajastambha flagpole and a large black Nandi statue draped in yellow garlands on a red pedestal. Palm trees, several dark stone deity murtis, and a hanging red-and-blue banner frame the open-air shed. The man's face and identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so this is recorded as an unsure candidate.
