A man with his hair tied in a bun leans his forehead against a tree trunk with eyes closed, in a quiet outdoor setting. He wears a violet silk dhoti-style garment with a red and gold brocade shawl draped over one shoulder, multiple rudraksha malas and a gold pendant necklace, a rudraksha armband, and a rudraksha bracelet on his wrist. A tilak mark is visible on his forehead. The bark of several tree trunks fills the left side of the frame, and one trunk bears a purple painted mark. This appears to be a pada-puja-style devotional moment at a tree. The appearance-based candidate is Swamiji (probable), shown with long hair in a bun, rudraksha malas, gold pendant and ornate silk clothing.
