Outdoor scene at a temple courtyard with sandy ground and palm trees behind. A single seated man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on a raised platform inside a circular bordered area, decorated with white floor rangoli designs. Nearby stands an orange-painted shrine with a black stone Nandi bull and garlanded decorations, and colourful fabric banners hang from a pole. A white pigeon and a grey pigeon walk on the concrete edge in the foreground, and a woven mat lies on the ground beside the platform. The seated man has no clearly visible crown or long swept hair, so his identity is uncertain.
