A man seated cross-legged on a raised platform in front of stone temple-style sculptures, with his palms pressed together above his head and his face tilted upward. He wears a rust-red sleeveless garment, a leopard-print waist sash, and long rudraksha mala strands across his chest and waist; a gold chain hangs at his neck and his long hair falls behind him. Beside him sits a dark stone murti of a seated figure in a red turban, garlanded with white and red flowers. Behind him is a white-draped object with a shivalinga-like emblem and floral garland, flanked by blue and pink draped sculptures adorned with jewelry. A black cushioned stool and a small staff lie at his side, and orange-and-white flower garlands hang along the base.
