A photograph of a seated man in an orange saffron robe on a white cushioned seat with a small patterned rug. He has a grey beard, a vertical yellow-orange tilak on his forehead, and a dark bead bracelet on his wrist. He holds open a magazine showing a black-and-white portrait and reads it. Behind him hangs a maroon banner with silver and gold fringe bearing Hindi-script lettering listing temple and ashram names. A small wooden side table holds oil lamps, a candle and a small container. The banner and magazine cover are printed, not physical people. The clothing shows no distinctive a person cues strong enough to confirm identity, so the role is given as a seated sannyasi reader.
