A man with slicked-back dark hair and a red bindi stands with eyes closed and hands pressed together at chest level beside a stone-edged pool. He wears a bare-shouldered saffron-orange dhoti-style cloth and a long rudraksha mala of brown beads. Behind him an orange wall displays a framed painting of a blue-skinned deity seated in meditation with a trident, and a brass hanging lamp is mounted above it. A pale rectangular placard hangs on the wall. The man has no distinctive a person cues beyond general saffron clothing, so identity is uncertain.
