Outdoors in a palm-shaded courtyard, a man in saffron robes and a rudraksha mala sits in meditation on a mat in front of a tall orange-red stepped shrine. A black stone Nandi bull on the shrine is garlanded with marigolds and yellow flowers. Around a circular ash-and-stone fire pit, several others sit in meditation: a woman in white and yellow at left, two men in white and saffron at right. A brass oil lamp rests on the mat before the central figure. Stone deity sculptures stand in the background at left.
