A seated man in saffron-orange robes meditates outdoors in a temple grounds setting, with his eyes closed, a long dark hairstyle, a rudraksha mala around his neck and a red tilak on his forehead. He sits on a low wooden platform on a straw mat, with a brass kalasha beside him. Behind him stands a large black stone Nandi bull draped with garlands of yellow, purple and red flowers, next to orange stone pedestals and grey stone deity murti figures among palm trees. Coloured rangoli designs decorate the ground around him, and red signboards line the background. Swamiji (probable) is shown in an appearance-based label, with his saffron robes, long swept-back hair and rudraksha mala as the cues.
