A man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged in meditation on a mat and cushion outdoors, hands joined in his lap and eyes closed. He wears a long dark rudraksha mala. A brass kalasha stands at his left on the mat. Behind him is a dark stone deity murti of a bull-like figure garlanded with marigolds on a red-orange plinth, with a tall copper-clad pillar and coconut palms. Stone sculptures and red-lettered signboards line the grounds, and a red flag and hanging decorations appear at the right. This resembles a Dasara celebration setting at Sripuram, Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair and saffron robes with a rudraksha mala, seated in meditation.
