A man in orange-red sleeveless wrap clothing and a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged with eyes closed on a woven mat atop a raised earthen platform ringed with gravel. He has a red tilak on his forehead and long swept-back hair, with hands folded in his lap. Before him lies a brass kalasha-style vessel, a green embroidered cloth, and a white and red floral offering design. Behind him stands a large black Nandi bull statue garlanded with white and orange flowers, in front of an orange-red stepped pedestal and a copper-clad pillar. Palm trees, a grey standing deity statue, and a small shivalinga-type stone are visible in the garden setting.
