Outdoors in a courtyard, a man sits cross-legged in meditation on a low wooden seat atop a woven mat, within a circular raised platform edged with white stone and a decorative kolam border of white dots and green-and-pink line designs. He wears a saffron-orange robe, a leopard-print shawl draped over his shoulders, and a rudraksha mala around his neck. Behind him stand orange-painted stone pedestals with a black bull (nandi) statue, and a brass kalasha vessel sits on the ground to his left. Palms, shrubs and colourful banners complete the setting.
