A man seated with eyes closed in a meditative pose, wearing an orange turban, orange garment, a red-and-white garland and a green leaf garland, with a gold armlet shaped like a serpent on his upper arm and a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him stands a large framed backdrop of a deity murti with a crown and ornate jewellery, next to golden trident-shaped ceremonial objects wrapped in white flower garlands. Golden decorative throne carvings and yellow marigold flowers frame the scene. Describing the seated man as a person is based on appearance cues: an orange turban, a red and green garland, a gold serpent armlet and a throne-like setting, but the face is not identifiable here and the caption is not visible in the image itself.
