Outdoors in a courtyard, a man in orange robes sits cross-legged with eyes closed on a woven mat atop a ring of ash, with a brass kalasha-style pot beside him. He wears a rudraksha mala and a white tilak on his forehead. Two women in white and saffron-trimmed garments sit behind him in meditation on the sandy ground. Behind them stand dark stone deity murti and an orange peetha draped with red and yellow marigold garlands. The scene suggests a meditation or puja setting.
