A seated man in an orange-saffron robe sits cross-legged on a woven mat in an open outdoor courtyard, eyes closed, hands resting folded in his lap, wearing a dark rudraksha mala and a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him stands a large orange-red stone plinth draped with a garland of yellow, orange and red flowers, with a grey stone sculpture of a seated deity figure above it and a standing grey stone deity figure to the left, the figure on the left holding a trident-like staff. A brass kalasha-style pot sits on the mat beside him. This appears to be a meditation or satsang setting. The man is an appearance-based candidate for Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala are visible cues.
