Outdoors in a palm-lined yard, a man with long dark hair sits cross-legged in meditation on an orange cushion over a woven mat, hands folded in his lap, eyes closed. He wears an orange saffron robe with a red-and-gold border, a rudraksha mala and a gold-toned necklace. Behind him an orange stepped pedestal holds a black stone Nandi bull draped with a sash and garlanded with yellow flowers. A brass kalasha sits beside him on the ground, and small colourful flag streamers hang from a wooden frame above. Coconut palms and a row of white figures stand in the background, and a small orange-roofed building sits to the right. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala and ornate necklace; he is depicted in a meditation and satsang setting.
