A man with a shaved-looking swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits cross-legged in meditation outdoors on a wooden seat with cushions, eyes closed. He wears an orange saffron shawl draped over his shoulders and orange dhoti-style garments. In front of him on a woven mat is a brass vessel and a red flower, set within a circle of gravel and earth. Palm trees, a white wall and a red pillar form the background in soft morning light. The scene reads as a yoga or pranayama practice session outdoors.
