A man with swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead sits cross-legged in meditation on an orange cushion atop a low wooden platform, eyes closed, hands folded in his lap. He wears an orange-saffron robe and a long necklace of dark rudraksha beads. Behind him stands a black stone deity murti garlanded with red and white flowers on an orange pedestal, with red-and-white and blue-patterned hanging ornaments on a metal frame and palm trees in the background. A brass vessel sits on a woven mat in front of him, and a floor design of rangoli-like patterns surrounds the seat.
