A man with long dark hair sits cross-legged in meditation on a low orange cushion placed on a woven mat outdoors. He wears a red saffron-coloured wrap and a heavy gold necklace of large beads, with a red tilak mark on his forehead, and his eyes are closed with hands resting in his lap. In front of him sits a small brass vessel. Behind him, several people in white dhotis and white shirts stand on a sandy ground near a low block wall, a yellow cloth hangs on a fence, and a green tree and palm fronds frame the morning sunlight. The appearance of the seated man is a probable match for Swamiji (probable), seated in meditation, with the long hair, gold beads and saffron wrap as the qualifying cues.
