A man sits cross-legged on a raised red-draped platform before a blue and gold backdrop, eyes lowered in meditation. He has long dark hair swept up into a knot with a rudraksha-style crown, a white horizontal tilak with a red dot on his forehead, and white markings on his upper arms. He wears a leopard-print shawl over bare shoulders, an orange cloth at his waist, and a heavy gold necklace with dark beaded malas. Two metal bowls sit in front of him, and a black ritual vessel stands at the left edge, with a gold trident partly visible at the right. The photo is a single seated figure with no visible crowd.
