Outdoor photograph of a man seated cross-legged on a low wooden platform on sandy ground, eyes closed in meditation with hands joined in his lap. He wears a flowing saffron-orange garment over his shoulders and orange dhoti, with a long rudraksha mala of dark beads around his neck and a red tilak on his forehead; his hair falls past his shoulders. Behind him a younger man in white clothes with a yellow shawl sits with eyes lowered, and two women in cream and yellow garments sit further back, also meditating. Behind them stand weathered grey stone sculptures of deities and a multi-hooded cobra carving, with palm trees and a grey sky above. Smoke rises from a fire at right and a brass vessel sits at the left edge.
