A photograph of a man seated cross-legged in meditation on a raised circular platform outdoors. He wears an orange saffron wrap draped over his shoulders and chest, with long dark hair swept back. His hands rest on his knees. In front of him is a brass kalasha pot on a woven mat with a small red rug beside it. Behind him stands a black stone Nandi bull, garlanded with yellow and orange flower strands, seated on a red-orange pedestal beneath a tall tree trunk. Stone deity statues and small seated figures line the garden, with coconut palms and flowering shrubs in the background. Small red signboards stand among the statues. The man is the probable Swamiji by appearance, given his long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, and is physically present.
