A seated man meditates cross-legged on a raised circular stone platform in an outdoor courtyard. He wears an orange saffron robe, a long rudraksha mala with dark beads, and has long swept-back dark hair; his eyes are closed and his hands rest in his lap. Around the platform is a ring of gravel and white and green rangoli-style floral patterns. Behind him stand rows of grey stone deity murti figures on pedestals, some with red placards, plus an orange-clad pedestal with a garland of yellow and red flowers beside him. Two pigeons sit on the ground and a few onlookers in white clothing stand at the far left. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, orange robe and rudraksha mala.
