Close-up photograph of a person seated cross-legged on a woven straw mat over a wooden platform, wearing orange robes. Only the lower torso, arms and hands are visible; the face is out of frame. The hands rest on the knees. In the blurred background a polished brass pot with a spout, a kalasha-like vessel, sits on the mat beside a bluish-grey expanse of water. A green and maroon cloth with fringe edges lies at the lower left. The scene suggests a meditation or samyama sadhana session outdoors.

Close-up photograph of a seated figure in orange robes, cross-legged on a woven mat atop a low wooden platform beside a river. Only the arms, hands, and legs are visible; the face is cropped out.
