A man with long, swept-back dark hair sits cross-legged on a wooden seat in an outdoor courtyard, eyes closed, in meditation. He wears saffron-orange robes and a dark rudraksha mala, with a red bindi on his forehead. His right hand rests near a small brass kalasha-style vessel with a spout and handle. Behind him stands a large black stone nandi-like bull statue draped with purple and yellow marigold garlands, set on a red-orange stepped pedestal. Palm trees, a black stone deity figure on the left, a cobra-hooded stone carving, and a stone lingam-like pillar surround the scene. Red signboards with white text stand at the base of the pedestal.
