A young man with shoulder-length wavy hair, bare-chested and wearing saffron-orange cloth draped over his body, stands on a red-tiled floor beside a large gold-and-silver statue of a sannyasi. The statue wears orange robes, a long rudraksha mala, bangles, and a tall gold crown, and holds a wooden staff. Behind it is an ornate gold throne-like shrine with red cushions and small deity figures, flanked by brass oil lamps on the floor, with a red curtain backdrop, a small gold canopy, and a framed portrait on the left showing a person playing a violin.
