A man sits cross-legged in meditation on a low wooden seat with an orange cushion, set on a mat within a circular earthen or ash-lined ground pattern. He wears saffron-orange robes with a deep maroon border and a long dark rudraksha mala, with a red tilak on his forehead and long swept-back hair. Beside him stands a large black Nandi bull statue draped with a marigold and red flower garland, on a tall terracotta plinth. A brass kalasha-style vessel sits on the ground near the seat, and a palm tree and other statues stand in the background. This looks like a meditation or satsang setting.
