He wears a flowing saffron-orange robe draped over his shoulder and a red tilak on his forehead, with long swept-back dark hair. Behind him a dark plaque lists donor names under the heading Dhyanapeetha Bidadi, Devotees Who Built Ananda Sabha, with a hanging brass bell above. The man has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, and a forehead mark, but the appearance cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so he is described only by role as a person standing beside the chair.2009-12-16August 17 20112011-08-17A seated man in an orange saffron robe and a long dark rudraksha mala sits eyes closed in meditation on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion.
