Behind him, about six men in white dhotis and white shirts with yellow shawls sit in rows on the ground in meditation under tall coconut palms, with a white structure and a thatched hut at the right. Probable Swamiji (saffron robe, rudraksha mala, long swept-back hair, red tilak) seated in meditation as the central figure.
