A photograph of a person seated cross-legged on a low orange-and-cream mat, eyes closed, hands resting in the lap, in meditation. The seated person wears an orange-saffron shawl over an orange robe, with a long rudraksha mala of dark beads across the chest and a red tilak on the forehead. Behind is an orange stepped base or pedestal with a dark statue above, adorned with yellow and pink flower garlands. A brass kalasha/lota with a vessel stands at the lower left. To the right, a man in a white shirt and dhoti holds a mobile phone to his ear beside the pedestal. Palm trees and a stone deity figure are visible in the background. Swamiji is a probable identification based on the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala.
