A photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron robe reading a black book with a light-coloured cover, sitting on a white cushioned platform with bolster-like white pillows. He wears wire-rimmed glasses and has grey hair and a grey beard. Behind him hangs a maroon cloth with gold fringe bearing white Devanagari lettering. In the foreground is a stuffed tiger head on a patterned rug, and a small wooden table holds a candle and small items. A second person in orange sits partly visible at the far left edge. The man's identity is not established by visible cues beyond clothing, so the a person value is unsure.
