A man with long swept-back dark hair sits cross-legged in meditation with eyes closed, hands clasped in his lap, on a woven mat over a raised wooden platform in an outdoor ashram courtyard. He wears a sleeveless saffron-orange cloth draped over the shoulders and an orange lower garment, with a long necklace of dark rudraksha beads and a red vertical tilak on the forehead. Beside him sits a polished brass kalasha vessel with a handle, and a small teal patterned cloth lies on the mat. Behind him are red-painted stepped stone structures, plumeria trees, and ash-marked fire pits with white chalk kolam designs on the ground.
