He wears saffron-orange robes wrapped over one shoulder, a long rudraksha mala of dark beads around his neck, and a red bindi on his forehead, with long swept-back hair. His eyes are closed and his hands rest on his knees in a meditation posture. Swamiji (probable) appears as this person, based on the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala.
