A seated man in saffron-orange robes meditates cross-legged on a mat in an outdoor garden with palm trees. He wears a long rudraksha mala and a red forehead mark, with hands folded in his lap and eyes closed. Behind him stands a black stone Nandi bull with marigold garlands beside a terracotta-coloured plinth and a copper-topped pillar. Two men in white dhotis sit at ground level to the right, one with a bare upper body. A brass kalasha-style vessel sits on the mat at left. Appearance-based identification is not established from the image itself, so this is a meditation scene with the central figure described by role only.
