A man in saffron orange robes sits cross-legged in lotus pose on a woven mat, eyes closed, meditating outdoors. He wears a leopard-print shawl over his shoulders, a long rudraksha mala necklace, and a red bindi on his forehead, with long dark hair swept back. Behind him is a large black stone Nandi bull statue draped with marigold and red flower garlands and a pink and gold cloth, seated on a tiered orange pedestal. A blurred statue stands in the background, and a small brass vessel and flower petals lie near the mat. The man appears to match the Swamiji cues of swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas, so the appearance-based label is Swamiji (probable).
