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 shaved-headed man sits cross-legged in meditation with eyes closed, wearing an orange saffron cloth with maroon borders over his shoulder.
