A man sits cross-legged on a low wooden seat within a circular ritual design on a paved courtyard. He wears an orange saffron wrap over his shoulders and a long orange cloth, with a rudraksha mala of dark beads around his neck and a red tilak on his forehead. Beside him stands a brass kalasha vessel. Behind him, a black stone Nandi bull is garlanded with yellow and orange flowers and rests on a red-orange pedestal, with grey stone deity sculptures and green trees in the background. The man has long swept-back hair and a distinctive rudraksha mala, which are consistent with a person presence, though the appearance is not fully certain.
