A man sits cross-legged on an orange cushion placed on a low wooden seat, on a woven straw mat, in an outdoor paved courtyard. He wears an orange saffron cloth draped over his shoulders and a long dark rudraksha mala around his neck, with a red tilak on his forehead. A brass kalasha-style pot sits on the mat beside him, and a ring of grey ash or coal surrounds the mat on the paving. Behind him, a red stone pedestal carries yellow and purple marigold garlands and dark statues. The seated man's gaze is directed to the side with a calm, composed posture; he appears to be a sannyasi or devotee conducting a ritual or meditation. No visible printed name identifies him.
