A barefoot man in flowing saffron-orange robes stands on a woven mat in an open courtyard beside a carved stone ledge. He wears a long black rudraksha mala draped over his chest and has long dark hair swept back; he raises one hand to his head in a gesture of hair adjustment or contemplation. On the ledge sit brass lamps, a brass vessel and a plate of fruit and flowers. Red-and-white striped walls and orange curtains frame the space.
