A bearded man with long swept-back grey-white hair sits cross-legged on a red cushioned seat in front of a gilded ornate backdrop. He is bare-chested, wearing an orange-saffron cloth wrapped around his lower body and across his torso, with a long rudraksha-style mala around his neck and a white horizontal marking with a red mark on his forehead. He is reading or looking down at an open book held in his hands. Beside him stand a golden framed plaque of a seated deity murti, a small brass pot, a gold-framed panel, and a framed picture with a colourful garland above. The floor is polished marble.
