A man with long dark hair sits cross-legged in meditation on a woven mat, eyes closed, hands resting in his lap. He wears an orange saffron robe with maroon-edged borders and a long rudraksha mala around his neck. A brass kettle-shaped vessel sits on the mat beside him. Behind him stands a large dark stone deity murti draped in a red and white shawl with a garland, set on an orange pedestal, surrounded by grey stone statues of deities and small red signboards on the sandy ground. Orange and red festoon banners hang from a pole above. Palm trees and a clear sky are visible. The photo carries a faint copyright overlay in the lower right, which is not transcribed.
