Outdoors under coconut palms, a man in orange sannyasi robes and a long black rudraksha mala sits cross-legged in meditation on an orange cushion over a woven mat, eyes closed and hands folded in his lap. A red tilak marks his forehead. Beside him sits a brass kalasha-style vessel. The mat rests on a raised earthen platform ringed with grey ash and white kolam designs. Behind him, a black Nandi statue draped with marigold and yellow garlands sits on an orange pedestal. Several men in white dhotis sit meditating in the background, and another man in orange is partly visible at the right edge.
