A man stands in front of a large red-toned backdrop of multiple painted Shiva faces with a golden trident held in his left hand. He wears a dark red-orange wrap and a dark red turban-style head covering, with a horizontal white tripundra and red bindi on his forehead. Rudraksha beads hang across his chest with a gold necklace, and rudraksha bracelets are on his wrists and upper arm. His right hand is raised in a blessing gesture. The appearance-based label is a probable match for the presiding sannyasi figure, based on the saffron-red robes, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold ornaments, though the image is a single standing figure in a stage-like setting.
