A man stands barefoot on a raised stone platform beside a large banyan tree, leaning his head and one hand against its trunk with eyes closed. He wears an orange saffron garment with gold-bordered edges draped over one shoulder, and a long gold bead necklace hangs across his chest. His long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Stone seating blocks and a white pillar stand in the background amid trees.

His hands are folded at his waist as he looks off to the side. Behind him are palm trees, colourful triangular bunting, a tall decorated pole, and carved black stone deity statues, including a cobra-hooded figure, set on a sandy ground. A ritual area with a rangoli-style border, cushions and a brass vessel lies at his feet.2010-11-18A man sits cross-legged barefoot on an ornate cream upholstered throne with gold carved wooden frame and floral damask pattern, against dark red drapery. He wears a saffron-orange draped robe with gold-brown border over bare shoulder and a long rudraksha mala of dark seeds, with a small red bindi on his forehead, hands resting in lap, gazing off to the side with a slight smile. A small clip microphone is visible near his ear. Swamiji (probable): the orange robe, long swept-back hair and rudraksha mala match the appearance cues for Swamiji, seated in a discourse setting.

He wears a saffron-orange unstitched garment draped over one shoulder with a matching orange dhoti-style lower wrap, and a rudraksha mala hangs around his neck. His long dark hair is swept back, and he leans with his forehead and one hand pressed against the tree trunk in a reverent, meditative posture.
