A seated man in an orange-saffron robe and matching head covering sits cross-legged on an orange cushion in an outdoor courtyard, eyes closed, hands clasped in his lap. He wears a red tilak on his forehead and a long rudraksha mala around his neck. Behind him a white stepped base holds yellow and red flower garlands draped over a dark deity murti. A small brass kalasha sits on the ground beside him, and a white dove walks in the foreground near a sooty ash-ringed fire area. A barefoot person in white dhoti stands at the upper right edge. This appears to be a meditative or puja setting in an open-air temple space.
