A seated man in an orange-saffron robe sits cross-legged in meditation on a wooden seat over a woven mat, inside a circular bed of dark stones set in a paved courtyard. He wears an orange wrap over his shoulders and has hair tied back. Beside him is a brass kalasha-style vessel. Behind him rises a large black stone Nandi bull statue wearing a marigold garland, seated on a red pedestal, with a red brick wall, palm trees and a grey sky. The scene is a quiet outdoor meditation setting. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), in orange robe with long hair tied back and a seated meditative posture.

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.
