A man sits cross-legged on a red-edged platform before a gold draped backdrop, eyes closed in meditation. He wears a leopard-print shawl over bare shoulders, a heavy gold and rudraksha necklace, an orange dhoti, and a rudraksha mala crowning his long hair. A white horizontal tilak with a red bindi marks his forehead, and white bands are painted on his upper arms. His hands rest in his lap in a meditative mudra. The candidate's appearance includes long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, ornate gold necklaces and a leopard-print shawl, so this may be a person seated in meditation.
