A man sits cross-legged in meditation with eyes closed on a woven mat atop a low wooden seat, in an open outdoor yard with palm trees and rangoli-style white designs on the ground. He wears an orange saffron wrap, a long rudraksha mala around his neck, and a horizontal tilak on his forehead; his hands rest in his lap. Behind him a dark stone Nandi statue is garlanded with yellow, white and purple flower garlands on a red-orange pedestal. A brass kalasha sits on the ground at his left, and a small orange and blue flag hangs at the upper right edge.

A seated man in an orange saffron robe and a dark rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on an orange cushion placed on a low wooden platform over a mat, with hands resting in his lap, in an outdoor temple grounds setting. A brass pot stands at his left beside a red flower on the ground, and a colourful rangoli-style pattern with flowers and dots surrounds him within a ring of grey ash. Behind him a large black stone Nandi bull sits on a red-orange pedestal draped with yellow and red marigold garlands, and a tall red-orange pillar is also garlanded. Several dark grey stone deity murti sculptures line the grounds under palm trees, and a large wooden pole stands in the background. At left, a painted banner shows a robed figure and devotees. The man has long hair and appears to be in meditation. Appearance cues including long hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala are consistent with the page's Swamiji flag, so this is a probable Swamiji in person.
