A man in saffron-orange sannyasi robes sits cross-legged on a low wooden platform in an outdoor palm-grove setting, eyes closed, hands resting on his knees in meditation. He wears a long rudraksha mala and a red tilak on his forehead, and his long dark hair falls to his shoulders. A polished brass kalasha vessel sits on the sand in front of him. Behind him, several men in white dhotis and yellow-bordered shawls sit in meditation on raked sand strewn with ash, beside a white stepped stone structure and coconut palms. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robes, long rudraksha mala and long swept-back hair are the visible cues for the person seated in front, shown in meditation.
