A seated man in an orange saffron robe and rudraksha mala sits in meditation on an orange cushion placed on a woven mat, within a circular ring of grey gravel and a kolam-style white and red chalk design on the ground. Behind him stand dark stone sculptures of deities and a black Nandi bull with a yellow flower garland atop an orange-red pedestal, with a tall orange-red shrine structure to the right and palm trees in the background. Red signboards are set among the stone figures. A brass kalasha-style pot sits beside him. The scene appears to be an outdoor sculpture garden setting. Appearance cues: the man wears saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala, but the face and the presence of the title are not enough to confirm identity, so this is marked unsure.
