A photo of a man with eyes closed in meditation, seated before an orange-painted structure. He wears an orange sleeveless shawl wrap and a long rudraksha mala, with a red bindi and white marks on his forehead. His long, swept-back dark hair falls past his shoulders. Behind him stands a dark stone deity murti of a bull-headed figure, garlanded with red and yellow flowers and adorned with a beaded necklace. Palm fronds and a yellow flower garland frame the upper right. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues of long swept-back hair, orange clothing and rudraksha mala are present, with the page noting his presence at the event.
