Outdoors in a courtyard with palm trees and a red compound wall behind, a man sits cross-legged in meditation on a low wooden platform covered with an orange cushion. He wears a saffron-orange robe with a maroon border and a long rudraksha mala around his neck, his eyes closed and hands folded in his lap. A brass kalasha stands on the left and a black stone deity murti decorated with yellow and red marigold garlands is on the right. Two people in the background walk across the paved area. The person appears as a priest or sannyasi in meditation; the appearance-based identity is uncertain.
