A small brass vessel sits on the mat beside him. Behind him stands an orange stepped plinth with a black stone deity murti garlanded with marigold and white cloth, beneath a tall ornamental kalasha-style finial. Grey stone sculptures line the grounds, with red placards in front of them, and coconut palms surround the area. On the right, a person in white dhoti and shawl walks past.

A brass kalasha/oil vessel sits to his left, with a rangoli kolam line drawn around the ring. Behind him a dark stone statue of Nandi bull wears a red-and-white flower garland on a red pedestal, and an orange-draped wooden cart stands to the right. Several seated men in white dhotis and saffron or yellow shawls meditate nearby, and stone deity statues line the left background. Swamiji (probable): the seated central figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a rudraksha mala, consistent with the page's account of a discourse and meditation session.2010-09-07
