Outdoors in a temple-like garden, a seated man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits in meditation on a raised dais within a pit lined with dark gravel and small offerings, a kalasha-like brass vessel beside him. Behind him stands a black Nandi bull statue garlanded with yellow and purple flowers atop orange stepped pedestals, with dark stone deity sculptures and a stone shivalinga-style column among trees. A barefoot attendant in white dhoti stands at right. Two red signboards with white lettering are visible at the base of the pedestals. The man's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, though the face and build are not distinctive enough to confirm.
