A man sits cross-legged on an orange cushion on bare ground, eyes lowered in meditation. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and a leopard-print shawl draped over his shoulders, with a rudraksha mala of dark beads around his neck and a red bindi and white tilak on his forehead. His long hair is tied back. A brass kalasha-style vessel sits to his left on a patterned mat, and red signboards with white lettering stand in the background among potted plants.
