A man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits cross-legged with eyes closed and palms pressed together in meditation on a wooden board outdoors. He wears a sleeveless orange saffron wrap. Behind him stand grey stone sculptures, one with a garlanded white plinth draped in yellow, red and green flower garlands. A brass kalasha pot sits to the left on sandy ground, and a pigeon pecks nearby. A second person in white with a yellow shawl sits meditating in the background. Probable Swamiji cues: long hair, saffron clothing and a seated meditative role.
