A seated man in an orange-saffron cotton wrap and red undershirt sits on a large white cushioned throne-like chair against deep red drapes. He has long, wavy dark hair and a red bindi on his forehead, with one hand resting on a white draped table holding a brass vessel and a microphone on a stand beside him. A white bolster lies at his right side and a patterned rug is at the bottom of the frame. The figure's appearance, long swept hair, saffron clothing and seated throne, matches the a person cues, so the person is labelled as such.

Strings of red and orange pennants hang on the wall and a striped maroon curtain is behind them.

A photograph in an indoor hall with a deep red velvet curtain behind. A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala necklace sits smiling on an orange velvet armchair with a red cushion and orange bolster pillows, one hand raised in conversation. Before him, an older man with white hair and beard, wrapped in an orange shawl, leans forward with hands together in greeting. A younger man in white with an orange shawl and a tilak mark stands at left, and a partially visible person is at the right edge. A white table holds a tray with small items.

To the right a table draped in cream satin with a yellow top cloth and beaded fringe holds a brass or amber bowl.
