A man sits cross-legged in meditation on a low wooden seat over a woven mat, eyes closed, in an outdoor courtyard. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with a maroon border, a rudraksha mala around his neck, and a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him stands a dark stone deity murti draped with a yellow and red marigold garland, set on a tiered terracotta-coloured plinth. Before him is a brass vessel on a circular bed of pebbles inset with floral tiles, and the surrounding paving is pale grey brick. Two of the page cues are not visible in the frame: the photo caption names a morning satsang, but the image itself shows only the meditating figure and setting.
