A man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits cross-legged in meditation with eyes closed and hands clasped in his lap, on a wooden meditation seat with a woven mat in an outdoor courtyard. He wears a saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder and a long rudraksha mala. Behind him stands a large black stone Nandi bull statue adorned with beads, with a weathered stone deity figure and a palm tree in the background, and a red-orange pedestal beside him. Small red flowers lie on the pedestal. The man's long hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala match the appearance-based cues for the probable Swamiji, so this is a probable Swamiji in meditation in person.
