A man seated cross-legged in meditation on a low wooden seat outdoors, eyes closed, hands clasped in his lap. He wears a sleeveless saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder and a long necklace of dark rudraksha beads, with a red tilak mark on his forehead. Behind him is a white stone pedestal with a dark deity murti draped in white cloth and garlanded with green leaves and red flowers, and a grey-and-orange backpack rests on the platform. The man has long swept-back hair and a shaved-looking profile is not visible; his appearance with long hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala matches the a person cues, though the image is a photograph of a meditating devotee in an ashram-style outdoor setting.
