Outdoors in a palm-lined garden, a man sits cross-legged in meditation on a low orange-cushioned seat atop a mat, eyes closed, hands folded in his lap. He wears an orange saffron cloth draped over his shoulders and a long rudraksha mala. Behind him, a dark stone Nandi bull sits on an orange plinth with a Shivalinga, flanked by grey stone deity statues and a light-coloured figure in white with a yellow shawl seated in meditation to the left. A brass kalasha stands at the front on a ring of pink-marked ground, with a small pink-and-white painted floor design. Frangipani and small shrine figures surround the scene.
