A seated man in orange robes sits cross-legged on a raised stone platform with eyes closed and hands resting in his lap, in meditation. He wears a long dark rudraksha mala and a red tilak on his forehead. Around him a circle of dark gravel and white floral kolam patterns with red dots decorates the ground. A brass kalasha-style vessel sits beside him on a green cloth. Behind him stands a large black Nandi bull statue draped with marigold and mixed garlands, set on red-orange stepped plinths, with a tall copper-clad pillar and palm trees above. Black stone statues of figures stand in the background along the courtyard.

He wears a rudraksha mala with a long bead strand and a tilaka on his forehead, and his hair is braided and long. A brass kalasha with a pink flower sits on a woven mat decorated with green and white kolam-style designs. Behind him is a dark stone Shivalinga draped with a garland of orange and red flowers on a red-orange pedestal, flanked by grey stone deity statues and palm trees. Ash or white stones surround the platform. Sunlight glows through the trees. The man is a person seated in meditation, so the appearance-based label is probable.2010-11-20October 27 20102010-10-27November 22 20102010-11-22October 14 20102010-10-14A 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.2010-11-03October 09 20102010-10-09 +1 copiesNovember 18 20102010-11-18 +1 copies
