A standing man in orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with a gold-bordered hem stands on a stage before an ornate gold-tone arched backdrop. He wears long swept-back dark hair, a silver pendant necklace, a dense belt and sash of rudraksha beads interspersed with brass bells, rudraksha armlets and wristlets, and holds a black staff hung with small brass bells in one raised hand while the other rests on his hip. He is smiling and looking to the side. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial adornments are the qualifying cues for this sannyasi figure. The setting suggests a discourse or ceremonial stage presentation.
