A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala meditates cross-legged on a woven mat atop a raised stone platform outdoors. His eyes are closed and hands rest on his knees, with a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him a black Nandi bull statue wears yellow and purple flower garlands in front of a copper-clad pillar among palm trees. Grey stone deity statues and small shrines line the courtyard, and a brass kalasha sits beside him on a patterned rangoli floor with a ring of grey pebbles. The scene reads as a meditation or puja setting in an ashram garden.
