A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits cross-legged on a white-draped chair on a stage, with a rudraksha mala draped across the chest. A huge orange-toned printed portrait of a smiling man in an orange turban with a red tilak on the forehead fills the backdrop, beside gold-bordered panels with orange-and-cream fan motifs and a dark panel with white stars. A gold kalasha-style ornament stands at the left edge. The seated figure appears to be a sannyasi on stage, and the flagged claim that this is a person is unconfirmed from appearance alone.
