Outdoor photo at a temple-style open courtyard under palm trees. A single person sits cross-legged in meditation on a raised circular platform inside a shallow pit lined with grey pebbles, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a vermilion tilak on the forehead. Behind him stands an orange brick pedestal topped with a dark stone lingam-like form draped in a garland of marigolds and red flowers, with a copper pipe above. Grey stone deity statues stand along the left, and a brass kalasha sits beside him. A purple and red lotus-like floral kolam with green leaves is drawn in coloured powder on the ground in the foreground, and woven mats lie nearby.
