A photograph of a seated figure in an open courtyard. A man sits cross-legged on a low orange cushion placed on a woven mat, hands folded in his lap, wearing an orange-saffron robe with a small red bindi on the forehead and long dark hair swept back. A brass pot stands on the mat before him, inside a circular ring of grey ash or sand bordered in terracotta. To the left, a large black stone Nandi bull sits on a red-orange pedestal. Behind are palm trees, frangipani shrubs and small grey deity murtis along a low wall. The scene reads as a meditation or yoga session. The figure matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, shown in person.
