A shaved-headed man in a white sleeveless vest and beige loose trousers sits in lotus pose on a dark mat, eyes closed, hands resting on his knees in a meditation mudra. He wears a rudraksha mala with a small round pendant, a white horizontal tilak on his forehead and a red dot between the brows. Behind him stands a large gilded carved bird. The pendant shows a small portrait, but no clear appearance-based a person cues are present, so the identity is uncertain and he is described by role as a meditating devotee.
