Outdoor photo of a seated sannyasi in orange robes meditating with hands folded in his lap, eyes closed, on a raised circular platform inside a ring of ash and charred wood from a fire pit. Behind him, several men in white dhotis and yellow shawls sit in similar ash-ringed platforms amid smoke, with a white stone structure at the left edge. The ground is bare sandy earth, and the scene suggests a homa or yagna ritual setting.
