A seated man in a maroon-red turban and bare shoulders, wearing a maroon and gold-bordered cloth wrap, is adorned with a long marigold and white jasmine garland. A tall silver staff rises behind him. Behind, a man with a shaved head and glasses, in maroon robes with gold borders and a rudraksha mala, holds a small silver pot. Another person in maroon stands at right, and a woven red patterned mat lies beneath the seated man beside stone steps overlooking a river. The seated man's appearance is consistent with a person identification based on his turban, bare-shouldered maroon attire, and garland, but the cues are limited to these, so the identity remains uncertain.
