A seated man in a saffron-orange and gold-bordered robe sits cross-legged at a microphone stand, apparently in an evening gathering. He wears a long rudraksha mala with orange-brown beads, a smaller dark bead mala, small earrings and white tilak marks on his forehead. His head is shaved and he is bare-shouldered beneath the wrap. He looks down while his hands hold a bundle of dried grass blades and green leaves, with a sprig of dry grass near a brass vessel of stalks. A white cloth lies at the lower left and a pink drape hangs at the right edge. The setting is dark behind him, with a small yellow sign partly visible at the left. Whether this man is a person cannot be determined from appearance, so the status is unsure.
