Outdoor photo of a man seated cross-legged on a low mat on bare ground, eyes closed, wearing orange saffron robes draped over his shoulders and a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him another seated man in white clothing and a row of grey stone deity murti or statues sit amid drifting smoke, with a corrugated-roof building and green shrubs beyond. A brass kalasha-style vessel with a spout sits on the ground in front. The orange-robed man with long swept-back hair has distinctive saffron clothing and ritual setting, consistent with a person appearance, but the identification is uncertain.
