The image is a black and white photograph of a Buddhist monk sitting on a wooden bench in a dimly lit room. He is wearing a traditional robe and is holding a lit candle in his hands. The monk appears to be deep in thought, with his eyes closed and his hands clasped together in prayer. On the right side of the image, there is a small vase with white orchids on the bench. In the background, there are other people sitting and observing the monk. The image is taken from a low angle, with the focus on the monk and the candle.
