A shaved-headed man in saffron-orange and gold-bordered robes sits cross-legged on a striped mat in front of a dark maroon curtain, performing a breathing practice. He has a white band across his forehead with a red bindi, his eyes are closed, and both hands are raised with fingers pressed to his nostrils. He wears layered rudraksha mala necklaces, rudraksha bracelets and a wristwatch. A small pendant hangs from the necklace. The sitting posture and nostril-closing gesture suggest a yoga pranayama demonstration.
