A man sits cross-legged on an orange cushion atop a low wooden seat, eyes closed, in meditation outdoors. He wears a saffron-orange shawl wrapped over his body and a long dark rudraksha mala around his neck, with a tilak marked on his forehead. Before him on a woven mat stands a polished brass kalasha-style vessel with a spout, beside a small red flower. Behind him, a row of seated white statues lines a low wall, an orange-roofed building stands at right, and tall palm trees and a circular metal frame rise in the background under an overcast sky.
