A photograph of a man seated cross-legged in meditation on an orange cushion placed over a woven straw mat, inside a circular bed of dark gravel with a reddish-brown border on a paved courtyard. He wears a loose orange-saffron shawl draped over his shoulders and an orange cloth around his body, with his hands resting folded in his lap. Beside him on the mat sits a small brass or gold-coloured vessel. Behind him stand a red-painted pedestal base at left, a red pillar at right, a low stone wall, dark stone figures and green trees. A figure is partly visible in the lower-left corner. The swami has long dark hair swept back, which together with the saffron clothing and ceremonial setting matches the Swamiji (probable) presentation for this discourse setting, so the appearance is recorded as in_person.
