A seated figure in a rust-red and gold-bordered dhoti and shawl sits on an ornate silver-embossed throne with lion motifs, hands pressed together in anjali mudra with eyes lowered. Multiple rudraksha malas hang across the chest and waist, and a red bindi and white markings adorn the forehead. Behind him, people in white traditional dress with gold borders stand and sit in the background, and a leopard-print cushion lies on the seat. The figure's appearance matches the traditional saffron/rust robes and rudraksha malas of a sannyasi, though identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
