A photograph of a man seated in lotus-style meditation on a low wooden platform with a folded orange cushion and a woven mat, eyes closed and hands resting in his lap. He wears a flowing orange-saffron shawl and a red bindi on his forehead. Beside him on the paved ground is a small brass kalasha-style vessel. The seated figure sits within a circle of grey gravel bordered by red-and-white tiled paving. Behind him stands a red-orange plinth with a garland of orange and yellow marigolds draped over a dark deity murti. Several dark stone animal-shaped statues and palm-like plants line the background. The clothing is orange and the setting is an outdoor temple-like courtyard for meditation.
