A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with a dark rudraksha mala draped over the chest sits cross-legged in meditation on an orange cushion placed on a low wooden platform over a mat. Hands rest together in the lap. Beside him stands a brass kalasha or pot, and marigold petals are scattered on the ground around the sacred space. Behind him, a large black stone Nandi-style bull murti is adorned with marigold and red flower garlands on a red-orange pedestal. Several black stone lingam or shrine sculptures stand in a row, with palm trees and a banner in the background. The setting is an open-air temple courtyard with a swirled decorative pattern on the ground.
