A standing man in a loose orange-red sannyasi wrap covers his shoulders and body, holding a thin silver metal rod in his right hand near his waist. He stands barefoot on a pale tiled floor in an indoor hall, looking down. Behind him are wooden cabinets, a white projection screen, a folding stand and a dark curtain. To the right a table draped in cream satin with a yellow top cloth and beaded fringe holds a brass or amber bowl. Appearance cues including dark swept-back hair and an orange wrap suggest a person figure, though the face is partly turned away.
