A man sits cross-legged with eyes closed in meditation on a woven mat outdoors, wrapped in a bright orange shawl over orange robes, with a head covering draped over his hair and a red tilak on his forehead. He wears a long mala of dark rudraksha beads. Behind him stands a black stone Nandi bull statue garlanded with yellow, red and purple flower strings, set on an orange stepped plinth beneath coconut palms. A brass kalasha-style vessel and a water bottle sit nearby, and a small placard is visible on the plinth. The surroundings are a paved courtyard with a folded blue mat and a patterned cloth.
