A photograph of a shaven-headed man seated cross-legged on a green mat on bare reddish earth, eyes closed, hands folded in his lap in meditation. He wears a white dhoti and white shawl edged with red borders, a dark rudraksha mala around his neck, a gold bangle on his wrist, and a small vertical mark on his forehead. Beside him smoke rises from a dying fire of grey ash and embers. Behind him stand green plumeria trees, a grey wall and a white bucket.
