A man with long dark hair sits cross-legged in meditation on an orange cushion placed on a woven mat outdoors. He wears a saffron-orange draped robe over one shoulder, a long rudraksha mala around his neck, and a red tilak on his forehead, eyes closed and hands resting on his knees. Behind him stands an orange-red temple structure draped with a garland of yellow and purple flowers, and a brass kalasha-style vessel sits at lower left. Blurred dark stone figures and palm trees fill the background. The figure has distinctive long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a rudraksha mala, so this is an appearance-based Swamiji (probable) meditating in a ritual setting.
