He wears a saffron-orange garment draped over one shoulder with gold border, a rudraksha-style gold bead mala with a large ornate gold pendant, a red bindi, and a gold-toned bangle. His eyes are lowered and one hand is extended in a gesture while the other rests on his knee. Beside him sits a small brass kalasha-style vessel. Behind him is a dark stone shivalinga-like murti with yellow and white flower garlands on an orange-red pedestal, with banana leaves and palm trunks in the background.

He wears an orange saffron robe draped over one shoulder and a long dark rudraksha mala around his neck, with a red tilak on his forehead and long dark hair swept back. His right hand rests near a small brass kalasha-style vessel with scattered flower petals. Behind him stands an orange-painted pedestal bearing a dark stone deity murti garlanded with red, yellow and purple flowers. Grey stone deity sculptures and carvings stand in rows on a sandy courtyard beside red signboards, with palm trees behind. The man is a candidate matching several cues (long swept hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala), so this is a person in person, seated in meditation or puja. A green patterned cloth lies in the lower right corner.2010-10-26 +1 copiesA man sits cross-legged on a low wooden seat with a cushion, palms pressed together in anjali mudra with eyes closed in meditation or prayer.

Behind him is a terracotta-coloured stone platform with a dark stone deity murti draped in a red and white flower garland. A brass oil lamp stands on the ground to his left, and a dark carved temple column with stacked stonework is visible at the upper left.

Behind him stands an orange stone pedestal topped by a black Nandi bull statue draped with a red-and-white cloth and marigold garlands. Several dark stone deity statues and a tall orange shrine tower stand among palm trees and flowering shrubs. A brass kalasha pot sits on the mat at left, and a multicoloured flag hangs at right.
