A seated man in orange robes with a gold-bordered shawl sits cross-legged with eyes closed and hands folded in a meditative mudra. He wears a long gold necklace with a gold Shivalinga-style pendant over a thick garland of white jasmine and red roses, and a gold bangle. A red tilak marks his forehead and his long dark hair falls past his shoulders. In front of him are bananas, mangoes and a silver covered dish, with brass lamps and a conch shell on a ritual setup, and a garland-wrapped pillar behind him. A black board on the wall lists donor names, and a wall clock hangs nearby. The ornate figure and garlands suggest a puja or satsang setting. Probable Swamiji appearance cues: long hair, saffron robes, gold necklace and rudraksha-style adornment.
