He wears a saffron-orange robe with a matching orange shawl draped over his shoulders, his hair tied back, and a tilak on his forehead. Beside him on the ground stands a small brass kalasha-style vessel, with a red flower and a circular pattern of ash or sand around him. Behind him a red wooden cart with large wheels and an orange-and-purple cloth on top sits on a paved courtyard. A woman in a red-orange sari walks at the left edge, and a banner with purple and yellow lettering stands in the background. The figure fits the orange-robed, tilak-marked appearance associated with the page's a person reference, though this is an appearance-based label only: a person, seated in prayer beside a brass kalasha.
