A man seated in lotus posture on a low wooden board outdoors, eyes closed in meditation, wearing an orange saffron shawl draped over his head and body with a long rudraksha mala hanging to his chest and a red tilak on his forehead. His hands rest together in his lap. Behind him are coconut palms and a white stepped structure. To the right, a man in white kurta with a yellow shawl sits with eyes closed, and two more seated figures in white appear in the background. A brass vessel sits on the sand at lower left. The orange-clad figure's appearance is consistent with the candidate, but the cues are limited to the saffron garment and rudraksha mala, so identity remains uncertain; he is described by role as a meditating sannyasi.
