A person in an orange saffron robe sits cross-legged on a small orange seat atop a raised circular platform of dark gravel with a painted floral border. A brass vessel sits on the mat beside them. Behind them stands a dark stone Nandi bull draped in yellow and red marigold garlands, beside a red-brick shrine pillar and rows of grey stone deity sculptures under palm trees. A woven mat lies on the sandy ground in front. The person appears to be sitting in meditation. Their face is turned upward with eyes closed and hair tied back, so their identity cannot be confirmed from appearance.
