A photo of a man seated cross-legged on a wooden platform in an open outdoor setting, eyes closed in meditation. He wears an orange-saffron shawl draped over his head and body, a rudraksha mala necklace, and a red tilak on his forehead, with hands resting in his lap. Behind him stand dark stone sculptures of deities, and a large black stone Nandi bull with a garland of yellow and red marigolds sits on a white pedestal. Coconut palms rise in the background under an overcast sky. A woman in white clothes sits at the left edge, partly visible, and a small flame is visible at the lower left.
