Outdoors among palm trees, a man in orange robes sits cross-legged in meditation on a woven mat atop an orange-red stepped platform. He wears a dark rudraksha mala and a red forehead mark, with eyes closed and hands resting on his knees. Behind him stands a black stone Nandi bull draped with orange-and-yellow marigold garlands, a red-and-gold pillar above, and dark stone deity statues on the left. A brass kalasha-style vessel sits at his left on the mat. Two men in white dhotis and an orange-clad figure sit on the sand in the background, with smoke rising near a fire pit.
