A photograph of a single man seated cross-legged on a striped mat outdoors, meditating with hands resting on his knees. He wears a saffron-orange sleeveless robe draped over his torso, a long necklace of dark rudraksha beads, and a red bindi on his forehead; his long dark hair is swept back. Behind him stands a terracotta-coloured pillar garlanded with yellow, white and red flower strands. A small brass vessel sits at the left edge on the ground, and the ground is gravelly with grass to the left. The pictured scene matches a meditation session. The swami candidate is wearing saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and a swept-back hairstyle, so this is a probable in-person match.
