A man with eyes closed sits in a serene meditative pose against a painted blue and gold backdrop. He has long dark curly hair, white vertical tilak with a red dot on his forehead, and a rudraksha crown on top of his head. He wears a leopard-print golden shawl draped over bare shoulders, with multiple strands of gold beads and rudraksha malas around his neck and chest, and a gold chain with a pendant. White ash marks appear on his upper arms. The setting suggests a stage or darshan setting. Only one physical person is visible.
