A photograph of a seated man in white ritual dhoti and shawl with green and gold borders, sitting cross-legged on a striped mat in a room. He wears a white cloth blindfold over his eyes, hands clasped in his lap, bare chest visible, in a meditative posture. A purple water bottle and an orange bag sit nearby, with a red chair and orange cloth in the blurred background. The man's appearance does not clearly match the page's a person claim, so he is described by role as a meditating devotee.
