A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on an orange cushion placed on a woven mat inside a circular ring of earth and grey ash on a paved courtyard. He has long braided hair down his back and wears a rudraksha-style beaded mala around his neck, meditating with eyes lowered and hands resting on his knees. Beside him stands a small brass vessel. Behind him, a black Nandi bull statue wearing a garland of white and yellow flowers sits on a red pedestal, with dark stone deity sculptures and green trees in the background. The scene reads as a quiet meditation or yoga practice in a temple-style courtyard.
