A brass pot stands at his left beside a red flower on the ground, and a colourful rangoli-style pattern with flowers and dots surrounds him within a ring of grey ash. Behind him a large black stone Nandi bull sits on a red-orange pedestal draped with yellow and red marigold garlands, and a tall red-orange pillar is also garlanded. Several dark grey stone deity murti sculptures line the grounds under palm trees, and a large wooden pole stands in the background. At left, a painted banner shows a robed figure and devotees. The man has long hair and appears to be in meditation. Appearance cues including long hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala are consistent with the page's Swamiji flag, so this is a probable Swamiji in person.2010-10-29October 29 20102010-10-29October 15 20102010-10-15November 07 20102010-11-07A man sits cross-legged in meditation on a low wooden seat placed on a woven mat outdoors, eyes closed, hands resting on his lap.
