A seated man in an orange saffron robe sits cross-legged on a white cushioned seat outdoors beneath large banyan trees with aerial roots. He wears a gold and white flower garland, has long swept-back dark hair and a red forehead mark, and rests his hands in his lap. A red patterned rug lies beneath the seat on sandy ground, with rocks and green foliage behind him. Garlands of white flowers are strung along the banyan trunk. The man appears to be Swamiji (probable), seated on the cushioned seat as the presiding figure, based on the long hair, saffron robe and gold garland.
