A bearded man in a rust-orange shawl and dhoti stands barefoot on a stone ghat, arms raised with hands clasped behind his head, eyes closed, with a white tilak on his forehead. Red flags hang behind him and a metal fence runs along the right side. In the background, rows of red stone steps hold small shivalinga-style stone shrines and brass vessels, with several seated people in white and orange clothing. The scene suggests a devotional or yoga practice at a temple site.
