A seated figure in orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits in lotus posture on a mat atop a circular stone platform in an open courtyard, a brass vessel beside him. Behind him stands a dark Shivalinga draped with a marigold garland on an orange pedestal, flanked by an orange pillar and palm trees. A row of stone deity murti and carved sculptures sits along an orange brick wall, with saffron-and-cream hanging banners from a metal trishul-shaped stand overhead. The figure has long dark hair and wears saffron and a rudraksha mala, matching the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues; the sitter is seated in meditation, eyes closed. Pigeons rest on the ground at left and red name plaques sit near the sculptures.
