A shaved-headed man in a white sleeveless top and tan drawstring pants sits cross-legged on a dark mat over a patterned rug in front of a deep red velvet curtain. He has a white horizontal tilak across his forehead and a red dot at the centre, and a rudraksha-style bead mala hangs around his neck with a small pendant. His right hand is raised to his face in a nasal breathing gesture with eyes closed, a common pranayama posture. A dark panel with a stylised white bird logo stands at the left edge. The setting looks like a meditation or yoga practice space, with no visible crowd.
