A seated person in an orange-saffron robe with golden-yellow borders sits on a white-covered chair under a large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. Long dark wavy hair falls past the shoulders, and a red bindi marks the forehead. Brass bells hang at the left and right edges of the frame, and a woven mat lies on the ground beneath the chair. Behind the seated figure, rocks and a low brick wall are visible. The robed figure rests hands in the lap with bare feet. Appearance-based identification is uncertain, so the figure is described by role only as a seated devotee in saffron robes.
