A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned seat, eyes closed and hands folded in his lap in meditation. He wears a cream-coloured turban, a brown embroidered silk jacket with a gold necklace, and a green striped cloth draped over his legs, with a cream shawl hanging at his side. The throne is framed by a curved arch of yellow and purple marigold garlands and sits on a base of white flower garlands with orange and magenta accents. Behind him a tree is hung with fruit, including apples and pineapple, and gold carved side panels stand on either side. A small water bottle sits at the left edge. The scene appears to be a festival or ashram event setting, with the seated man as the sole physical person present. The a person field reflects appearance cues only and is unsure.
