A photograph of a man in saffron-orange robes seated in meditation on a raised wooden seat with an orange cushion, placed on a mat in an outdoor courtyard. He has long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala draped over his chest, a red tilak on his forehead, and his hands rest together in his lap with eyes closed. Behind him, rows of people in white ritual clothes sit on the ground. A brass vessel with a spout stands at the front, a red-and-white kolam decorates the floor, and a tall painted pillar, palm trees and a small building appear in the background. The scene reads as a satsang or meditation session. Swamiji (probable): the seated man in saffron with long hair, rudraksha mala and tilak.
