A seated figure in orange-saffron robes and a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on a low wooden platform in meditation, with a pigeon in the foreground. Behind him, a red-orange pedestal supports a black Nandi bull statue draped in a white cloth and yellow-and-red marigold garlands.

A blue cord and woven mat lie on the ground. The seated figure has long dark hair and a rudraksha mala, matching the saffron-robed teacher described on the page, so this is probable Swamiji.2010-11-20November 20 20102010-11-20November 20 20102010-11-20November 20 20102010-11-20A grey pigeon sits in the foreground on a sandy ground surface, with its head turned toward the camera.

In the foreground a grey pigeon sits on the sandy ground. A figure in a saffron-orange robe kneels with hands folded in front of a dark stone Nandi bull statue draped with a white cloth and a marigold garland. Palm trees, a silver SUV, a small shrine with an orange-clad deity image, and a few people in white clothing stand in the background. The figure is kneeling at a distance and the features are not clearly visible, so the appearance-based identity is uncertain.2010-11-20
