A photograph of a man in saffron-orange robes seated cross-legged on an orange cushion placed on a low wooden platform over a white mat. He wears a long rudraksha mala with dark beads and a red tilak on his forehead, and his hands rest on his knees in a meditative posture. A brass kalasha-style vessel with a handle sits on the mat beside him. Behind him, two people in white dhotis with red borders stand and sit on the sandy ground near a red-orange pillar. Scattered grey ash lines the sand. The seated figure is an appearance-based a person, identified by saffron robes, rudraksha mala and tilak, but the image is not conclusive.
