A man sits cross-legged with eyes closed in meditation on a woven mat outdoors, with a red bindi on his forehead. He wears a saffron-orange draped cloth with gold-bordered edges and a long gold bead necklace, with dark shoulder-length hair. Behind him stands an orange-painted platform and a dark stone deity murti draped with a garland of yellow, white and red flowers. Scattered flower petals and white and pink rangoli-style powder decorate the ground, and a small pink flower lies in front. The page identifies this as Swamiji; the appearance cues of long hair, saffron clothing and gold beaded mala are consistent, so this is Swamiji (probable) in meditation posture.
