A seated man in an orange-yellow robe sits cross-legged on a mat outdoors, palms pressed together in prayer at his chest, eyes closed, with a red vertical mark on his forehead. Behind him stands a large dark stone Nandi bull, garlanded with red flowers and a white beaded necklace, on a tiered salmon-coloured pedestal. A brass oil lamp sits on the mat in front of him. A stone cobra hood rises in the background among trees. Warm hazy light and lens flare wash over the scene. A small copyright line appears along the bottom edge.
