A seated man in red-orange sannyasi robes and layered beaded necklaces sits on an ornate gilded throne with a deep red cushioned seat. A garland of marigolds, roses and white flowers wraps the throne and the canopy above it. A standing monk in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha beads holds a large bright orange umbrella over the seated figure. The setting appears to be a stone riverside or ghat with steps and water in the background, and the scene is lit by dusk light. A canopy with tasselled edging in red, purple and white hangs above the throne. The seated man has a candidate match in appearance, with long hair and ornate adornments, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity from appearance alone.
