A seated figure in orange saffron robes and a long black rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on a woven mat atop an orange cushion, hands folded in lap, eyes closed, in a meditative posture. A small brass kalasha-style vessel sits to the left. The seat is set within a circular earthen platform edged with grey stones and scattered yellow marigolds, with green painted leaf-vine motifs on the ground. Behind him are several black stone deity murtis and a Nandi-like sculpture draped with garlands, a red-painted pedestal, palm trees, and a hanging metal arch. A small figure in dark clothing stands in the far background. The seated person's appearance shows a rudraksha mala and saffron robes but the identity is uncertain, so the a person field is unsure.
