A man sits cross-legged on the ground outdoors in an orange saffron robe, with a rudraksha mala of dark beads around his neck. He has his palms pressed together in anjali mudra at his chest, eyes closed, and a red bindi and white vibhuti marks on his forehead. Behind him stands an orange-painted stone pillar or plinth with a floral garland of purple and yellow flowers hanging at its top, and grass and dirt ground surround him. The orange and red tones dominate the image. The figure shows only a single clothing-based presentation with no crown, turban or ornate gold necklace; he cannot be confirmed as the a person from appearance, so the role is given as a devotee in prayer.

Behind him stands a white stepped pedestal draped with a garland of yellow and purple flowers, beside a dark sculpted deity murti and green trees.
