A person in orange saffron robes with a long dark hair and a red and white garland sits cross-legged on a mat within the ring, hands resting on the lap, a brass vessel placed nearby. Colourful rangoli-style floral patterns in pink, yellow and orange decorate the ground around the circle.

Orange and terracotta buildings, palm trees and a metal archway frame the scene, and a sign on the wall reads Sri Anandeshwar Peeth.
