A man seated in cross-legged meditation on a low wooden seat atop an orange-red cloth on a sandy ground, eyes closed and hands resting in his lap. He wears a saffron-orange sleeveless wrap over orange clothing, a long dark rudraksha mala, and a red tilak on his forehead; his hair is long and swept back. Behind him stands a large dark stone deity murti of a seated figure draped with garlands of red flowers and a white-and-gold necklace, set on a tiered terracotta-coloured pedestal. Palm trees and greenery surround the courtyard, and a brass oil lamp sits at the lower left corner. The appearance-based label is probable, with the saffron wrap, long swept-back hair and rudraksha mala as cues.
