A man in saffron-orange robes sits in meditation on a low wooden seat inside a circular ring of grey gravel and ash on bare earth, with a small brass pot placed beside him on a woven mat. Behind him stands a tall orange-painted pedestal bearing a black stone Nandi bull draped with a marigold garland, and grey stone deity statues stand under palm and frangipani trees in the background. A rudraksha-style bead necklace hangs on his chest. Orange flags and a striped cloth hang from poles at the sides, and a second woven mat lies on the right. The scene resembles an outdoor pooja or meditation ground.
