A bare-shouldered man sits cross-legged, head bowed and smiling, wearing a rust-red cloth wrapped around his body and draped over one shoulder, with a long brown rudraksha mala across his chest. Pink and red flower petals sit in his thick dark curly hair, and a garland of pink roses and green leaves hangs around his neck, which he touches with one hand. A red-and-gold silk sari-clad figure, possibly a deity murti, is visible at the upper right, with a red cloth and a few scattered petals on his lap. Behind him, a few people are partially visible in the background.
