A man with long, swept-back dark hair sits cross-legged on a white-draped seat with a leopard-print cushion under a pink and gold draped canopy outdoors. He wears an orange saffron robe, a thick white and red marigold garland, a red bindi, wooden rudraksha beads and a beaded bracelet, with his eyes closed and a mala held in one hand. Behind him stands a golden deity murti playing a flute, with a brass stand and palm leaves nearby, and a teal cloth lies on the ground. The long hair, saffron robe and ornate setting match the appearance-based cues of Swamiji (probable), seated in a ritual setting.
