A man with long dark hair sits cross-legged on an orange cushion placed on a low wooden platform, eyes closed in meditation. He wears a saffron-orange robe with a maroon-red border draped over one shoulder and a long string of dark rudraksha beads around his neck, plus a red tilak on his forehead. His hands rest in a mudra in his lap. A brass vessel with a spout sits on the mat at left. Behind him are stone deity sculptures and a garland of yellow and red flowers draped over a dark stone pedestal, with palm trees and an orange wall in the background. Long dark hair, saffron robe and rudraksha beads mark him as a sannyasi in meditation; whether this is the a person is judged from appearance cues alone.
