A man with long swept-back hair sits cross-legged on a woven striped mat outdoors, eyes closed in meditation. He wears orange saffron robes and a long dark rudraksha mala, with a red tilak on his forehead, hands resting in his lap. Beside him on the mat is a brass kalasha-style vessel. Behind him stands an orange-red painted structure, with grass, pale stone slabs and ash-covered ground around. A person in white is partly visible at the top left edge. The figure matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, seated in a meditation posture.
