Behind him a large black Nandi statue wears a garland of yellow and magenta flowers and a beaded necklace, resting on an orange pedestal. A brass kalasha-style vessel sits at the left edge beside a shallow earthen ring filled with ash-grey material, and a woven mat lies in the foreground. Palm trees and an orange-painted wall stand in the background, with one standing person in pale clothes visible at a distance. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron garments and a rudraksha mala, seated in a meditative posture.
