A man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban with a gold ornament sits on a cream upholstered chair with dark carved wooden arms, smiling and raising one hand in a blessing gesture while holding a white cane-like staff. He wears a rudraksha mala, a long white-and-red flower garland, gold bangles and a red tilak on his forehead. Red and white flower garlands drape over the chair back. Blurred devotees' heads appear in the foreground at the bottom and a warm bokeh backdrop sits behind him.
