A man with long, swept-back dark hair sits cross-legged on an orange cushion placed on a low wooden seat, on a woven mat over a sandy-gravel ground. He wears a saffron-orange garment draped over one shoulder with gold border, a rudraksha-style gold bead mala with a large ornate gold pendant, a red bindi, and a gold-toned bangle. His eyes are lowered and one hand is extended in a gesture while the other rests on his knee. Beside him sits a small brass kalasha-style vessel. Behind him is a dark stone shivalinga-like murti with yellow and white flower garlands on an orange-red pedestal, with banana leaves and palm trunks in the background. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron garments and a rudraksha-style mala with ornate gold pendant mark him as a.
