A man with long swept-back dark hair stands at the right edge of the frame in a sleeveless saffron-orange garment, looking off to the side with a slight smile. Behind him a rocky gorge of dark grey basalt slabs drops toward a narrow channel of dark water, with white rapids and a small waterfall cascading down the rock face. Dry scrubby trees and low hazy hills fill the background under a pale sky. A wooden post with a red cloth tied to it rises at the upper right edge. A faint purple logo sits in the upper left corner. The scene suggests the Hogenakkal Falls area. Probable Swamiji, wearing saffron clothing with long swept-back hair, is shown at the right edge.
