A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged in meditation on a woven mat over a raised stone platform with a gravel border and pink chalk-style lines. He wears long dark hair, a red tilak mark on his forehead, and a dark rudraksha mala. A brass kalasha-style pot sits to his left. Behind him stands a black stone Nandi bull on an orange stepped pedestal, with grey stone statues and palm trees around. A second man in white clothing with a yellow shawl sits in meditation further back on the left. The scene looks like an outdoor meditation spot, and the photo carries a faint copyright overlay in the lower right. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robes, long hair and rudraksha mala are the cues.
