A figure with long dark hair, wearing saffron-orange robes and rudraksha beads, sits cross-legged on a low wooden seat, hands resting on the knees. Before him are a small brass lamp and a flower offering. Behind him stands a dark stone Nandi bull statue draped with red and white garlands on a terracotta pedestal. Around thirty men in white shirts and white dhotis sit facing him on the paved floor, with a few in striped shirts. Red pillars frame the open pavilion, and an orange-red brick wall with green trees lies behind.

A man sits cross-legged on a low wooden seat on a sandy-floored open courtyard, meditating with hands folded in his lap. He wears a saffron-orange garment over one shoulder and a dark rudraksha mala with a red bindi on his forehead, and his head is shaved to dark short hair. Behind him stands a large black stone Nandi bull draped in a white cloth with yellow flower garlands, on an orange-brick plinth. A small brass kalasha vessel sits to the left on the ground, with a reed mat and palm trees in the background. The scene reads as meditation in a temple courtyard.
