A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on an orange cushion outdoors, eyes closed and hands resting in his lap, in a meditative posture. He wears a long rudraksha mala of dark beads and has a red tilak on his forehead with long dark hair. Behind him stands a white ritual platform with a garland of yellow marigolds and blue fabric hanging from it. Smouldering fire and ash lie to the left, a brass kalasha vessel sits in the foreground, and another white-clad person sits at the far left edge. Swamiji (probable) is presented here as the seated person in meditation, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala, in a homa-style outdoor setting.
