Outdoors in a palm-lined courtyard, a man in an orange saffron robe with a dark rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on a low orange seat atop a mat, eyes closed in meditation. In front of him is a brass kalasha-style pot and a ring of dark gravel set in sand. Behind him stands an orange stepped pedestal holding a dark stone Nandi bull draped with a red cloth and garland. Black stone deity statues and small red signboards line the left side, and colourful ceremonial banners hang from a pole on the right. Pink and white floor decoration surrounds the site.
