Outdoors on a terrace with misty green hills behind, a man in a saffron-orange robe with a gold-trimmed edge sits on an orange cushioned seat under a red and orange fringed parasol. He wears a long gold-bead necklace and a red tilak on his forehead, eyes closed in meditation, feet resting on a gold tray. In front, two seated devotees in white dhotis face him; the closer one, shaved-headed and wearing a gold-bead necklace, has his hands folded. A gold kalasha-style vessel sits on a red cloth beside the seat, and a patterned carpet covers the floor.
