A man with long swept-back dark hair sits cross-legged in meditation on a low wooden seat over a woven mat, eyes closed, hands resting in his lap. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl draped over the shoulder, with a long dark rudraksha mala around his neck. A small brass kettle-shaped vessel sits on the mat beside him. Behind him stands a wooden cart with orange cloth canopy and a large garland arch of red, white and green flowers, beside a dark stone deity murti with red garland on an orange plinth, and stone cobra-hood statues. Palm trees and an orange wall frame the open outdoor scene. The sitter's distinctive long hair, orange clothing and rudraksha cues are consistent with the page, so this is a probable Swamiji appearance.
