He wears a sleeveless saffron-orange garment with a matching wrap draped over one shoulder, and his long dark hair is tied back in a braid. Behind him a white wall with red vertical stripes holds a black memorial plaque listing donors' names, with a brass bell hanging near a large banana leaf. A potted plant sits in the lower right corner. The setting appears to be an ashram courtyard.
