A man sits cross-legged on bare ground in meditation, eyes closed, wrapped head to body in a flowing saffron-orange cloth draped over his head and shoulders. A red bindi marks his forehead. Behind him a white stone wall is decorated with hanging garlands of red and yellow flowers, and a fallen red flower lies on the ledge. Scattered ash or charcoal is visible near his seat. The figure's orange robes and posture suggest a sannyasi in meditation during a temple-related event; the single person is in a sitting meditation posture.
