A photograph of a figure in orange saffron robes with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi, seated cross-legged with hands folded in a meditative posture on a white stone platform. Behind him stands a white tiered pedestal supporting a dark stone deity murti draped with a red, yellow and white marigold garland. Smoke rises from a small fire at right, where a man in white clothes and a yellow shawl sits nearby. In the foreground several grey and white pigeons peck at the pavement, slightly out of focus. Trees and palms fill the background.
