A person in an orange saffron shawl and orange robes sits cross-legged on a low wooden seat within a circle of grey gravel, eyes closed, hands folded in the lap, in a meditative posture. A small brass kalasha stands to the left on the ground. Behind is a white stepped plinth topped by a dark black stone murti draped in white cloth and garlanded with marigold and red flower garlands, with rudraksha-style beads. Bare dirt ground and a dark stone vessel are visible at the edges. The seated person is a devotee or sannyasi in meditation; no appearance-based cues establish a person, so identity is unsure.
