A man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged in meditation on a low wooden seat with eyes closed, hands resting in his lap. He wears a long dark rudraksha mala and a red tilak on his forehead. A brass kalasha-style vessel sits on a woven mat beside him. Behind him is a dark stone deity murti draped with a red-and-white flower garland on an orange plinth, flanked by stone sculptures and palm trees, with a red-and-white garlanded chariot frame at left and banners at right. The person appears to be a sannyasi in meditation rather than a clearly identifiable individual, so the appearance-based identity is uncertain.
