A photograph of a man with long swept-back dark hair sitting cross-legged in meditation on a low wooden seat over a woven mat, eyes closed and hands resting in his lap. He wears an orange saffron garment draped over his shoulders and a long strand of dark rudraksha beads. Behind him stands a black Nandi bull statue garlanded with yellow and orange marigold and white flower garlands, on a tall orange-red pedestal. Around the seat is a circle of white stones, a rangoli-style border of yellow and pink petals, and a brass kalasha pot at left. Grey stone deity sculptures and red signboards stand in the background, with palm trees and an orange wall behind. Probable Swamiji: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, seated in meditation.
