Outdoor photograph of a man with long dark hair seated cross-legged on a white cloth over a rock, wearing an orange sleeveless robe and a rudraksha mala, with a red bindi on his forehead. He wears layered garlands of white jasmine, green leaves and red and orange flowers, and his bare feet are visible. Pink petals are scattered around him. Behind him stands a multicoloured umbrella with tassels and the readable word Dhyanapeetam, beside a framed portrait labelled with the same temple-style artwork and garlands. A hillside with shrubs and boulders forms the background. A microphone stands near him. Whether this is a person is uncertain from appearance alone.
