A shaved-headed man sits cross-legged in an orange-red sannyasi robe with a gold-bordered cloth, wearing rimmed glasses, a red bindi and white horizontal tilak marks, and layered rudraksha malas across his chest and upper arms. His eyes are closed and his hands rest in a meditative mudra or chant posture. Behind him, two boys with white tilak marks sit in red clothing. On the floor before him is a gold cloth with a brass cup, a small brass bowl with offerings, a brass lamp and a clear plastic container. Appearance cues are limited to a shaved head, glasses and robe, so the identity is uncertain.2013-09-20A photograph of a shaved-headed man seated cross-legged in prayer with palms pressed together at the chest and eyes closed. He wears a rust-orange cloth wrapped over his shoulders with a gold-bordered dhoti, multiple rudraksha malas, and a heavy gold ornamental necklace with a central pendant. He has white horizontal tilak lines and a red dot on his forehead, and a small headset microphone is visible near his face. In the foreground are yellow cloth-covered items and a small oil lamp, with a brass lamp stand at the right edge against an orange wall.
