A man with long dark hair sits cross-legged in meditation on an orange cushion placed on a low wooden platform. He wears a saffron-orange robe draped over his shoulders and a long rudraksha mala of dark brown beads around his neck, with a red bindi on his forehead. His hands rest in his lap. Behind him is a white stepped stone structure scattered with red flower petals and a bunch of red flowers at right. A brass kalasha-style vessel with a handle stands on the ground at lower left, beside a bed of grey ash or embers. Swamiji (probable) is shown in meditation; the saffron robe, long swept-back hair and rudraksha mala are the qualifying cues.
