A man sits cross-legged in meditation on a woven mat outdoors, eyes closed and hands resting in his lap. He wears orange saffron cloth draped over one shoulder and a long black rudraksha mala with a red tilak on his forehead; his hair is long and swept back. Beside him stands a brass kalasha-style vessel. Behind him rises an orange stone pedestal with a dark murti draped in a garland of yellow and magenta flowers. Grey stone sculptures of deities stand in the background, a tall wooden trident-shaped pole hangs with two striped cloth banners, and palm trees fill the sky. The seated man is the appearance-based probable Swamiji, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala.

A black rudraksha mala hangs around the neck and a small red mark is on the forehead. A brass kalasha-style vessel stands on the left of the mat and a pink flower lies on a patterned rangoli-like floral design on a raised stone platform surrounded by small white pebbles. Behind, a black Nandi-style bull statue with yellow and orange garlands sits on a red pedestal beside palm trees, and tall metal frames hold colourful hanging cloth banners in the morning light. The figure appears to be a statue or lifelike sculpture rather than a living person, so no physical people are counted.2010-11-20
