A man with long swept-back dark hair and eyes closed sits in meditation outdoors, wearing an orange saffron shawl and a multi-strand gold-toned rudraksha-style mala necklace. He has a red bindi and white vertical tilak on his forehead. Behind him, a dark stone statue of a standing deity holding a staff is visible, with a garland of white and red flowers draped at the right edge and palm trees in the background. This is a photograph of one person; the appearance cues of long hair, saffron clothing and ornate mala are consistent with a Swamiji (probable) candidate, shown in meditation before a deity murti.
