Close photograph of a seated person in orange saffron robes sitting cross-legged on a woven straw mat edged with blue and yellow borders. Only the lower body, arms and hands are visible; the face is outside the frame. One hand rests on the knee and the other rests on the lap. A brass oil lamp with a long curved spout and a thin bent wire handle sits beside the mat, and a white chalk kolam or rangoli design is drawn on the ground behind. The scene suggests a sitting ritual or meditation outdoors.
