A thatched-roofed hut with woven bamboo walls hosts a seated sannyasi in orange robes on a red throne with a red cushion and a wooden staff leaning beside it, eyes closed and hands together. A standing man in a white kurta and dhoti with an orange shawl gestures toward him, while a camera operator on a tripod films at left. Several seated devotees in white and orange shawls sit on a terracotta floor, and a water bottle rests nearby. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair and saffron robes on a crimson throne.
