A seated man in a rust-red robe with multiple rudraksha malas over his chest, shoulders and arms sits cross-legged with palms pressed together in namaste, eyes closed. He wears a leopard-print patterned turban, a white forehead marking with a red bindi, and a thin gold chain. Behind him a large ornate gold repoussé backdrop and a silver chair frame the seat. To the right stand brass oil lamps and a tall brass trident-topped stand, and a stone bowl sits in the lower right. The setting appears to be a temple or ashram hall. The person's appearance, with a turban, rudraksha malas and ceremonial dress, is a person candidate in a seated devotional pose.
