A man with swept-back dark hair sits cross-legged on a dark patterned mat in front of a rough grey stone wall, speaking with a headset microphone at his ear. He wears a rust-orange shawl draped over one shoulder, orange dhoti-style wrap, a long rudraksha mala with wooden beads, and a gold ceremonial pendant on a chain. His hands rest in front of him, and a water bottle and folded orange cloth sit on the mat at left.

A man in an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulder sits cross-legged on a brown patterned mat in front of a rough grey stone wall. He wears a long rudraksha mala and a gold pendant necklace, and his hands rest together near his feet. A plastic water bottle and a folded saffron cloth lie on the mat beside him, and a small tablet on a stand sits at the lower right. Appearance cues fit a person, but the face and build are not clearly distinctive enough to confirm the identity, so the a person field is unsure.

A smiling man with short dark hair and a white-and-red forehead marking sits cross-legged on the ground in front of a stone wall of grey rectangular stones. He is bare-chested apart from an orange-red cloth wrap over his shoulder and body, with a long brown rudraksha mala around his neck and a gold ceremonial necklace with a central gold pendant. A brown rudraksha band is tied on his upper arm. A plastic water bottle and a folded orange cloth lie on the ground at the lower left.

A man sits cross-legged in meditation on a wooden seat with an orange cushion, on a woven mat set in a circular bed of pale gravel outside a temple. He wears orange saffron robes, a dark rudraksha mala with beads reaching his chest, and a red tilak on his forehead; his eyes are closed and his hands rest folded in his lap. Beside him on the mat stands a brass kalasha-style vessel with a spout. Behind him a dark stone deity murti with yellow flowers on its base and orange temple walls complete the scene in warm evening light.

A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on a stone platform in front of a rough stone wall, with green leafy branches at left. He wears a loose orange saffron robe draped over his shoulders and a long rudraksha mala with large beads falling to his lap. He has a white horizontal forehead marking with a red dot, and his hands rest together at his lap holding the mala. The setting appears to be outdoors in evening light.

A man sits cross-legged in lotus-style meditation on a low wooden seat with an orange cushion, on a woven mat outdoors. He wears an orange saffron robe with a maroon border and a long rudraksha mala, with a red bindi and tilak on his forehead. His hands rest on his knees and his gaze is directed to the side. A brass vessel stands at the lower left, and blurred trees and stone structures fill the background. The appearance and rudraksha mala are consistent with a person, shown in meditation.
