A man seated cross-legged on a low wooden platform outdoors, eyes closed in meditation. He wears a flowing saffron-orange robe draped over his head and shoulders, with a long rudraksha mala of dark brown beads hanging across his chest and a red tilak on his forehead. His hands rest together in his lap. Behind him stands a black stone bull (Nandi) murti garlanded with yellow and red flower garlands, in front of a white-painted stepped pedestal and a tall ornate pillar with palm fronds above. A brass vessel sits at the lower left and a water bottle at the right. The scene suggests a sacred outdoor meditation at a temple-like setting. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long dark hair swept back under a saffron wrap, orange robes and a rudraksha mala, cues consistent with the page's claim.
