A photo of a seated man in saffron-orange robes and a saffron shawl, bald-headed, wearing rimless glasses, a red tilak on his forehead, rudraksha-style beads and a gold bead necklace, sitting cross-legged on a mat beside a brass plate holding a banana, flowers and small brass items, and a brass cup and bell. Behind a metal railing, several people in white and yellow shawls sit with palms pressed together, with brass lamps and plates visible. A man's bald head is partly visible in the lower right foreground. Seated person's identity is unclear from appearance, so the figure is described by role as a robed sannyasi.
