A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-saffron shawl draped over the head and body, sitting cross-legged with eyes closed on a flat stone platform in front of a white stepped structure decorated with a garland of red, orange and yellow flowers. Smoke or ash drifts in the foreground beside a brass kalasha-style vessel and scattered grey ash. The figure appears to be in meditation. a person cues are weak; the orange garment is the main sign, so the identity is uncertain. A plain white-clad attendant's legs are visible at the right edge.
