A seated man meditates outdoors on a woven mat with a cushion, eyes closed and hands resting on his knees. He wears a saffron-orange sleeveless robe and a long dark rudraksha mala with a longer mala draped around his neck, and has long dark hair swept back. Beside him stands a brass kalasha-style vessel. Behind him are orange stone plinths, a large black stone nandi bull, and dark stone deity figures and nagas, with palm trees and saffron-and-white ritual flags on a pole. The setting resembles a temple garden with gravel and painted floor lines.

Behind him stands a large orange-red stone plinth draped with a garland of yellow, orange and red flowers, with a grey stone sculpture of a seated deity figure above it and a standing grey stone deity figure to the left, the figure on the left holding a trident-like staff. A brass kalasha-style pot sits on the mat beside him. This appears to be a meditation or satsang setting.
