A man with eyes closed stands outdoors before a large banyan tree with many hanging aerial roots. He wears an orange-brown saffron-coloured cloth draped over his bare shoulder, with a yellow inner garment visible. He has multiple rudraksha mala strands and heavy ceremonial gold necklaces with gold floral pendants, gold armlets and gold bangles, plus gold hoop earrings. A red bindi and white tripundra marks are on his forehead. His hands are folded at his chest in a meditative gesture, with a gold ornament at his waist. The appearance matches Swamiji (probable) based on the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklaces, shown in meditation.
