A seated man in an orange saffron robe sits cross-legged on an orange cushion, palms pressed together in namaskar at his chest with eyes closed, in an outdoor temple courtyard. He wears a dark rudraksha mala and a red-and-white bindu on his forehead, and his long dark hair is pulled back. Behind him stands a large black stone Nandi bull draped with red flower garlands and a pearl-like necklace, set on an orange-coloured pedestal. To the left are dark stone statues, including a cobra-hooded figure, and palm trees behind. A small brass oil lamp sits on the ground beside him. The man's build and features are not clearly visible enough to confirm identity, so he is described only by role as a devotee at prayer.
