A seated man meditates cross-legged on an orange cushion placed on a low wooden platform, on a woven mat outdoors. He has long swept-back dark hair, a red sindoor-style mark on his forehead, a pink-and-red shawl over pink dhoti-style garments, and a heavy gold necklace of beads with a pendant. His eyes are closed and his hands rest folded in his lap. Beside him is a small brass pot and a red flower on the mat. Behind him stand an orange pillar-like plinth draped with yellow and red marigold garlands, a grey stone deity murti carved in relief, a red wooden post, and palm trees under a pale sky.
