A seated man sits cross-legged in meditation on a red-draped stage before a blue textured backdrop with a white scrollwork border. He has long, wavy dark hair with a tuft knotted at the crown wrapped with orange-brown rudraksha beads, white sandalwood paste with a red dot on his forehead, and eyes closed. He wears a leopard-print yellow shawl over bare shoulders, layered with heavy gold beaded necklaces and dark rudraksha malas, and an orange cloth at his waist. His hands rest folded in his lap. To his left stands a gold trident, with a small orange-ribboned damaru drum at its base, and a black metal kalasha-style pot sits near his knee. Ornate, Shiva-themed staging suggests a darshan setting.
