A photograph of a man seated in a cross-legged meditation posture on a low wooden seat with an orange cushion, eyes closed and hands resting in his lap. He wears an orange saffron wrap and has a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him are white stepped platforms with red and white flower garlands and scattered red petals. A brass vessel sits at lower left, and shallow leaf plates lie on the sand at right. The ground is sandy with a bed of grey ash or gravel. The seated man shows no visible cues that would support an identification as a person, so he is described only by role as a meditating sannyasi.
