A photograph of a single person seated cross-legged on a raised dais in a palm-grove outdoor setting, eyes closed in meditation with hands folded in the lap. The person wears a saffron-orange robe and a long rudraksha mala with a dark bead necklace, with long dark hair. In front of them is a brass kalasha-style vessel on a woven mat and a rangoli-decorated circle on the ground. Behind is a large black stone bull statue garlanded with red and orange flowers on a red pedestal, a tall copper-coloured pillar, and several dark stone sculptures of figures among palm trees. Colourful festival banners hang from bamboo poles at the right.

Behind him stands a copper-coloured pillar and palm trees, with black stone deity statues and small shrines around the courtyard. A brass kalasha sits to his left on a woven mat, with flower petals scattered on a circular rangoli-style pattern of grey gravel.
