A man sits cross-legged in meditation on a low wooden seat outdoors, eyes closed, hands resting on his knees in mudra. He wears an orange saffron wrap over his shoulders and an orange lower garment, with a long rudraksha mala of dark beads around his neck and a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him stands a black stone deity murti draped with a garland of yellow and purple flowers, set on a tiered orange-red pedestal. A brass kalasha vessel sits to his left, and a black shivalinga stands on a platform to the right amid palm trees. Small pink signs with white lettering are placed near the base of the monument.
