A man sits cross-legged on a rock beneath a colourful striped canopy, smiling with eyes closed and face tilted upward. He wears an orange turban with a red tilak mark on the forehead, long dark hair, an orange and gold-bordered robe, and a heavy gold bead necklace with a gold pendant. Thick garlands of yellow marigolds, red flowers, white daisies and green leaves cover his shoulders, chest and lap, and the garland heaps pile around his bare feet. Green palm fronds and a mountainous landscape fill the background. Swamiji (probable) is identified by the page as present at this Tiruvannamalai birthstar event, and the orange robes, turban, garlands and gold necklace are consistent with that presentation.
