A shaven-headed man sits cross-legged on a wooden floor in a white sleeveless tank top with a small red forehead bindi, olive-green trousers and a dark rudraksha mala with a round pendant. He rests one hand on his cheek with eyes closed, in a contemplative pose. Behind him a large red and gold painted deity image hangs on a backdrop, beside a carved wooden pedestal and dark curtain. The man wears plain ritual-style clothing without saffron or ornate garments, so his identity is not established from appearance.
