A photograph of a man seated cross-legged in meditation posture on a low wooden seat with a mat beneath, dressed in a full saffron-orange robe draped over the shoulders and lap, with a small red mark on his forehead. Behind him is a dark stone Nandi bull statue draped with a garland of yellow marigolds and purple flowers, set on a terracotta-coloured pedestal. A brass vessel and a single red flower lie on the ground in front of him on a patterned mat and pebbled floor. To the left is a wooden cart with large wheels, and blurred statues stand in the background. One person is visible. a person is not named here; the wearer is described by role as a seated meditator in saffron robes, and the appearance is ambiguous.
