A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on a raised concrete platform inside a circle of white ash outdoors. He wears an orange saffron robe, a long rudraksha mala around his neck, and a red tilak on his forehead; his long dark hair falls past his shoulders and his arms are folded across his chest with eyes closed in meditation. A brass kalasha-style vessel sits beside him on the platform, a small patterned mat lies on the ground nearby, and an orange tiered shrine base with a garland of flowers stands behind him. Dry earth and a sparse patch of grass surround the scene.
