A man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on a striped multicolored mat outdoors, eyes closed, palms pressed together in namaste. He wears a rudraksha mala of dark beads around his neck and a red bindi on his forehead, with long dark hair swept back. Beside him stands a small brass kalasha-style vessel. Behind him is a large orange-red stone plinth. Two women in white garments with yellow shawls sit with folded hands in the background, and a red signboard with white lettering is visible behind them. Ash and small fire residue lie on the ground. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the central figure, seated in prayer with saffron robes, rudraksha mala and long swept-back hair.
