A photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-orange robe draped over the head, sitting cross-legged on a low cushioned seat with hands folded in the lap and eyes closed, in meditation. A small brass pot stands on the ground beside him. Behind him, workers in white dhotis and yellow shawls prepare a gold-trimmed wooden chariot with a blue cloth canopy, and a red tractor is parked nearby. Stone sculptures of deity figures stand to the right in an open courtyard lined with palm trees and a white wall. The figure's appearance has long hair under the saffron wrap and ornate clothing cues are limited, so identity is uncertain.
