A seated man in an orange-saffron robe sits cross-legged in meditation on an orange cushion placed on a wooden platform, with a mat and a brass pot with a spout beside him. He wears a long dark rudraksha mala around his neck, has a red tilak on his forehead, and has long dark hair swept back. Behind him stands a white and yellow vehicle painted with a red deity figure, with coconut palms and a flowered garland on an orange pillar at left. The swamiji candidate has long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, so this is Swamiji (probable) in meditation, but the appearance cues are only partly distinctive.
