A photograph of a man seated in meditation on a woven mat and orange cushion atop a raised circular stone platform, eyes closed, hands resting on his knees in a meditative posture. He wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulders and body, a long rudraksha mala necklace, and a red bindi on his forehead, with long dark hair swept back. Behind him stands a black stone Nandi bull statue adorned with a red and yellow flower garland, set on an orange-red pedestal, with a tall copper-clad pillar and coconut palms beyond. A brass kalasha pot sits to the left on the mat, and a small purple-and-green cloth lies to the right. Decorative white floral and swastika-like patterns are drawn on the ground around the platform. Garden statues of standing figures and small shrines appear in the background.

A man with long dark hair sits cross-legged in meditation with eyes closed on an orange cushion over a woven mat, inside a raised circular platform decorated with white floral kolam-style patterns and dark gravel. He wears an orange saffron wrap, a red bindi and a long dark rudraksha mala. Behind him stands a black Nandi bull statue draped in a garland of red, yellow and purple flowers, on an orange stepped pedestal beneath a tall copper-clad pillar. A brass kalasha vessel sits at his left, and palm trees and stone statues surround the outdoor temple garden. Ascetic-style clothing and a meditation setting suggest a satsang or meditation scene; he appears as a probable Swamiji by his long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala.2010-11-03November 25 20102010-11-25November 24 20102010-11-24A man in orange saffron robes sits cross-legged in meditation with eyes closed on a raised stone platform outdoors.
