A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on an orange cushion on a low wooden platform outdoors on sand. He wears a long rudraksha mala and has his hands in a meditative mudra, with one palm raised. Beside him stands a brass kalasha-style vessel. Behind, a man in white with a red-orange shawl stands and watches, and another man in a white robe and yellow shawl sits with palms joined in prayer. Dark stone deity murti and sculpted pillars with greenery surround the courtyard. Swamiji (probable): the seated saffron-robed figure has long swept-back hair, orange robes and a rudraksha mala, cues consistent with the page.
