Isidore Kinsbergen's "Group of ascetics displaying meditation-related actions" (1863-1864) depicts five figures in a natural setting, likely in Pasir-Sinala Ciampea, Bogor district in West Java. The photograph captures a group of stone sculptures that are partially obscured by foliage and seem to be situated outdoors, hinting at a potential archaeological site. The figures are seated in various meditation poses, showcasing the importance of contemplation in the region's spiritual practices. The image provides a glimpse into the Buddhist and Hindu beliefs prevalent in Indonesia during the 14th to 16th centuries, offering a window into the visual representation of religious themes in that era.
