Outdoor photo of a seated figure in orange robes, cross-legged on a low wooden platform, hands folded in lap, on a sandy ground ringed with grey ash or charred material. Beside them stands a small brass or gold kalasha-style pot. Several pigeons, grey and one white, peck at the ground in the foreground. Only the lower body and hands of the seated figure are visible; the face is out of frame, so the identity cannot be confirmed from the image. A white-clad person's knees are partly visible at the top left.
