A man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits cross-legged in meditation with eyes closed and hands folded in his lap, on a mat in front of an orange-painted stone base. He wears an orange sleeveless wrap and orange dhoti with a long dark rudraksha mala. Behind him, a black stone Nandi bull statue wears a red flower garland and beaded necklaces, with marigold petals scattered on the orange platform. A brass kalasha-style vessel sits at the lower left edge. The man has long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and orange robes, which are cues for a person in meditation posture; the appearance is consistent with this but not conclusive, so the claim is held at unsure.
