Outdoors in soft morning or evening light among palm trees, a man with long swept-back dark hair and a tilak on his forehead sits cross-legged on an orange cushion placed on a woven mat, eyes closed, hands resting in meditation. He wears a red-orange shawl over bare shoulders and a long gold ceremonial necklace with beads. A silver-coloured kalasha or vessel sits in front of him on a rangoli-decorated circle. Behind him, a man in an orange dhoti and shirt holds a camera to his face, and two more men in white and light clothing stand or move nearby beside a low brick wall. A red pillar and stone sculptures frame the left side. This appears to be a meditation or satsang moment; the seated figure's appearance and ornate cues fit the a person description.
