A close photograph of a young man in a cream and gold-embroidered turban with a gold ornament hanging at the side, wearing orange robes and a thick garland of red roses, white flowers and green leaves across his chest. He wears a gold chain and a gold pendant, a red tilak on his forehead, and sits with his head bent over his hands, which rest on a pile of red roses and a blue-edged document or book. Behind him, another person in orange robes with a beard is partly visible at the edge. The setting is an outdoor festival with a blurred background.
