A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on a low wooden platform on a paved courtyard, hands folded in his lap, in a meditative pose. He wears a dark rudraksha mala necklace, a red tilak on his forehead, and has long dark hair swept back. Beside him, a black stone Nandi bull statue wearing a marigold and red garland sits on a tall red-orange pedestal. Behind are palm trees and dark stone sculptures. A brass kalasha-style pot and a small raked sand and chalk-drawn kolam pattern lie at his feet, with a bed of ash in front. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a rudraksha mala, cues consistent with the page's record of his presence. He appears to be a sannyasi in meditation.
