Outdoor photo at a temple-like ground with palm trees and stone sculptures. A man seated cross-legged on a mat with eyes closed, wearing an orange saffron robe and a rudraksha mala, sits at the center of a circular ring of ash inside a sandy courtyard. Behind him stands an orange brick shrine-like structure holding a large black Shiva linga draped with a red cloth and a garland. A brass oil lamp sits in front of him. Several other people in white and saffron robes sit in meditation on mats nearby, and a copper kalasha-like finial rises above the shrine. The man seated at the center shows swept-back long hair and a rudraksha mala, which the page identifies as a person; that identification is appearance-based and unconfirmed.
