A shaved-headed man in a saffron-orange cloth sits cross-legged outdoors with eyes lowered and a finger pressed to his nostril in a breathing practice, consistent with pranayama. Rudraksha mala beads hang around his neck and a beaded bracelet is on his wrist, and white ash stripes mark his bare shoulder and forehead. Behind him a man in a red headcloth wears white and gold-bordered dhoti clothing, and to the left an older man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala sits on red-and-white striped steps. The setting is a concrete platform with a red-and-white striped wall.
