A smiling young man in orange saffron robes and an orange turban sits cross-legged on a low wooden stool before a rock mound. He has long dark hair, a red bindi on his forehead, and a long rudraksha mala hanging across his chest; his right hand is raised in a greeting. Behind him stands a black stone deity murti with multiple arms, draped in an orange cloth, wearing a silver necklace and red flower garlands, framed by an ornate gold arch. Beside it a black shivalinga-style stone with an orange cloth, red flowers and a gold base sits on the rocks, with trees and foliage behind. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, orange turban and saffron robes with rudraksha mala, in a sitting role, greeting the viewer.
