A man in saffron-orange sleeveless robes and a long rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on an orange cushion on a low wooden platform, eyes closed and hands clasped in his lap, with a red tilak on his forehead. A small brass kettle-like vessel with a handle sits at his left. Behind him, two women in yellow and cream sarees sit on the ground, and grey stone sculptures of a cobra-hooded figure and another deity stand among palm and banana leaves under an open-sided tent. The scene suggests meditation outdoors.
