A photograph of a seated figure in an open outdoor yard, eyes closed in meditation. The person wears a flowing saffron-orange garment draped over the head and body, with a small red bindi on the forehead, hands folded in the lap on an orange cushion placed on a low wooden platform. A brass pot stands in the foreground on a concrete slab. Behind are palm trees, flowering plants, a white-walled structure, a bamboo fence and a pile of firewood, with ash-grey ground around the platform. The figure's identity is not visually confirmed, so the appearance-based label is not applied here.
