A seated man in a meditation pose sits cross-legged on a dark reddish-brown cloth before a deep rust-colored backdrop. He wears saffron-orange robes with gold-edged borders, a draped shawl over one shoulder, and a long dark rudraksha mala hanging across his chest. His long, dark hair falls past his shoulders and he has a red bindi on his forehead. His hands rest on his knees and lap in a calm, meditative posture, and he gazes directly at the camera. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and gold-edged shawl are the qualifying cues for this studio portrait of a meditating sannyasi.
