A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on a low wooden platform in meditation, eyes closed, hands folded in his lap. He wears an orange saffron robe and a long rudraksha mala around his neck, with a red bindi on his forehead and long dark hair swept back. Behind him is a white stepped shrine structure draped with a flower garland, and a dark-skinned stone deity figure stands at the top left. A brass kalasha-style vessel sits on the ground beside him on a bed of white ash. In the background, two people in white clothes tend a smoky fire, and palm trees line the open ground. The Swamiji (probable) appearance cues are the long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala, with the seated figure presented as the central meditating subject.
