A man in a rust-orange sannyasi robe with a gold-coloured wrap stands on a stage before a dark maroon velvet curtain, arms raised high with palms open in a blessing gesture. He wears a long gold bead necklace over an orange-brown shawl, a small gold earring, a white tilak across the forehead with a red bindi, and a smile. Behind him is a throne (peetha) decorated with a multicoloured floral arch of red, yellow, purple, white and green flowers, flanking golden lion-head armrests.
