A man with eyes closed sits in meditation in front of orange-painted stepped platforms and a dark stone deity murti with garlands behind him. He wears a sleeveless saffron-orange wrap over a bare-chested upper body, a long rudraksha mala with multiple beads hanging to his chest, and a red tilak on his forehead. His dark hair is swept back to his shoulders. Behind him, a dark stone Shiva-like figure wears flower garlands, and a small dark stone naga-style figure stands to the left. The scene reads as a quiet meditation or darshan setting at an outdoor shrine. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron wrap and rudraksha mala.
