A seated man with long dark hair and a vertical sandalwood-and-vibhuti forehead mark, wearing an orange robe, a leopard-print shawl over one shoulder, and a white and red flower garland, sits with palms pressed together in anjali mudra while looking upward. Before him on a table are a brass kalasha-style vessel with a spout, a brass bowl, a white cloth, and a bouquet of yellow, white and pink flowers. Behind him a blue sign reads 'Please' in Kannada and English, and red lotus-motif painted lines decorate the pale wall. Appearance-based cues including the long hair, orange robe and garland suggest a probable Swamiji presence in person.
