Outdoor photo of a man seated in lotus position in meditation on a low wooden seat placed on a woven straw mat, at the base of an orange-red stepped stone shrine. He wears a saffron-orange sannyasi cloth draped over one shoulder and a long strand of dark rudraksha beads, with a red tilak on his forehead and eyes closed, hands resting in his lap. Above him, a dark deity murti is garlanded with yellow and orange marigolds and purple flowers. In front, a brass kalasha-style pot and scattered pink and white petals lie within a rangoli-like ring of yellow and orange flower outlines on gravel, with a small maroon cloth nearby. Green shrubs flank the shrine.
