A seated man in a rust-red sannyasi robe sits with eyes closed on an ornate gold throne carved with floral and lion motifs, cushioned with leopard-print and tiger-striped fabric. A long garland of pink and white flowers hangs from his neck to his bare feet, and his palms rest on his knees. A silver staff with a serpent-shaped top stands beside him, and a gold lion sculpture sits at the left. A brass oil lamp and flower offerings lie on the platform in front. Hanging bells and beads frame the upper left. The page indicates a person is present; the appearance shows a shaved-headed, saffron-robed man with a vertical tilak, a flower garland and a silver staff, but these cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the role is given as a seated sannyasi on a throne.
