Outdoor photo in a palm-fringed courtyard of a temple-like compound. A man in orange sannyasi robes and a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on a low wooden seat placed on a mat, hands folded, eyes closed, at the centre of a circular ring of grey ash or cinders bordered with coloured floral rangoli and purple flowers. Beside him rests a brass kalasha-style pot. Behind him stands a red-brick peetha pedestal topped with a black stone Nandi bull garlanded with marigolds and flowers, under a tall copper-coloured pillar. Dark stone deity murti statues line the left side, and coloured cloth banners hang from a tall pole at right.
