A man kneels low on a blue exercise mat, forehead bent almost to the floor, hands pressed together in front of him in a prostration. He wears a white short-sleeved shirt, a yellow cloth draped over his shoulders with a rudraksha mala visible at his neck, and a gold bangle on his wrist. In front of him on the cream tiled floor sits a shallow round stainless steel plate. Behind him are more steel plates and a purple and green mat with a yellow strap. The scene suggests a devotional prostration. The image is a photograph.
