A man with long dark hair sits cross-legged on a low wooden seat with an orange cushion, eyes closed, hands clasped in his lap in meditation. He wears a sleeveless saffron-orange cloth draped over one shoulder and a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him, ash-covered ground and white stone platforms suggest a fire-pit area. Another person in a white and yellow garment sits further back. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron-orange robe and sustained meditation posture are the appearance cues; this is a meditating sannyasi in an outdoor ritual setting.
