A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on a maroon cushion in front of a large banyan tree, its thick aerial roots and trunks filling the background. He wears an orange turban with a red bindi on his forehead, has long dark hair, and wears a long rudraksha mala around his neck. His right hand is raised in a blessing gesture while he smiles. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robes, long hair, orange turban and rudraksha mala are the appearance cues; he sits in outdoor meditation and blessing posture beneath the sacred banyan.
