A photograph of a single man seated in lotus-style meditation on a rounded stone platform in an outdoor courtyard. He wears a saffron-orange unstitched robe draped over his shoulders and chest, a long rudraksha mala around his neck, and a red tilak on his forehead. His eyes are closed and his hands rest on his knees. A bordered ring of charcoal-grey ash surrounds the platform, with white kolam lines and red floral markings drawn on the ground. Behind him, two wooden carts with white wheels stand with orange and red cloths draped over them, and an orange-painted shrine block with a garland of marigolds sits to the left. A brass kalasha-style pot sits in front of him.
