A man in orange saffron robes sits cross-legged in meditation on a small wooden seat atop a woven mat inside a circular stone platform ringed with gravel and white kolam-style dots. He wears a dark rudraksha mala, a red tilak on his forehead, and has his eyes closed with hands resting on his knees. Behind him stands an orange-painted pedestal supporting a black stone Nandi-style bull sculpture draped with a garland and sash, beneath a tall copper-clad pillar tied with orange cloth and marigold garlands. Coconut palms and dark stone statues surround the courtyard. A brass kalasha/pot sits to his left and a small red flower lies in front of him. Small red placards with text stand near the statues.
