A photograph of an outdoor sitting session on a dirt ground in front of a white single-storey building with a corrugated roof. In the left foreground a man in saffron-orange robes and a saffron wrap sits cross-legged on a low wooden platform, with a brass vessel beside him and a rudraksha mala visible at his neck; he has short hair and no distinctive long hair, crown or ornate gold adornment, so the figure cannot be confidently matched to a person. Behind him about six men in white dhotis and white shirts with yellow shawls sit in a row on gravel, some with hands on their laps. A white dove and a grey pigeon walk on the dirt in the middle distance. Stone statues and potted plants sit along the building wall, and a scooter is parked at the right.
