A seated man in orange saffron robes sits beside a white wall with red trim, leaning against a stone inscription panel covered in Sanskrit verses in red and dark script. He wears a long orange shawl draped over his shoulders, an orange long-sleeved top over a dark brown turtleneck, and a long rudraksha mala of dark brown beads hanging to his waist. A red tilak mark is on his forehead and he looks off to the side with a calm expression. Appearance is not enough for a confident identification, so the role is given as a seated sannyasi-style devotee and the identity is left uncertain.
