Outdoors in a temple grounds courtyard, a young person with long hair sits cross-legged in meditation on a low orange cushion and a woven mat inside a circular stone-edged enclosure with gravel and white kolam-style designs. They wear orange saffron robes and a long rudraksha mala, hands folded in the lap, and a small brass vessel sits beside them. Behind them stands a black stone Nandi bull wearing a white cloth and yellow-orange marigold garlands atop an orange pedestal. Surrounding the enclosure are dark grey stone sculptures of deities and figures on red-plinthed bases, a tall striped decorative pole, palm trees and a red brick wall. The scene is a photograph with one physical person.
