A photograph of a single man seated cross-legged in meditation on a wooden platform atop a woven mat, eyes closed and hands resting in his lap. He wears orange ochre robes, a sleeveless orange shawl draped over one shoulder, and a long rudraksha mala around his neck, with a vertical red tilak on his forehead. Beside him sits a brass kalasha-style vessel, and behind him a dark stone sculpture of a seated figure with flower offerings rests on a red-orange stone plinth. Orange-toned buildings and trees blur in the background of an outdoor courtyard. The man is shown in a meditation pose consistent with a person depiction, though his appearance is not conclusively identifiable.
