A black-and-white photograph of an elderly bare-chested man with a shaved head and white beard sitting cross-legged on a large rock in a rocky, scrubby hillside landscape. He holds a walking staff upright beside him and rests one arm on his knee. A small dark pot sits on the rock behind him. The setting appears to be a rugged hill terrain with boulders and sparse vegetation. He wears only a white cloth wrap around his waist. The image has no other people or visible ritual activity.

He wears a white cloth wrap around his waist and draws his knees together in a meditative posture, hands resting on his legs. Behind him stands dense green shrubbery with small white flowers, a tree on the left, and a whitewashed temple-style structure with a dome and spire rising above a low stone wall. The photo has worn edges and fading, and the scene appears to be an outdoor temple or ashram grounds. No distinctive a person cues such as flowing hair, saffron clothing or malas are visible, so the identity is uncertain and he is described only by role as a seated meditating man in white.Photo 11741381
