A man with long, swept-back dark hair sits cross-legged with eyes closed on a low wooden seat with an orange cushion, on a sandy ground outdoors under palm trees in bright sunlight. He wears a saffron-orange shawl draped over his body and a long black rudraksha mala around his neck, with a red bindi on his forehead, and his hands rest in his lap. Beside him on a woven mat stands a polished brass kalasha-style vessel with a spout. Behind him a wooden cart with orange-and-blue decorated tassels and a painted fringe is visible, with a faint wisp of smoke. Swamiji (probable) is identified by the long swept-back hair, saffron shawl and rudraksha mala, and the page places him at the Pada Puja event.
