A seated man in an orange saffron robe and white jasmine and marigold garlands with red and blue trim sits beneath a large white ceremonial parasol with red tassels and a dark lotus-and-bird design. He has long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi on his forehead, and a rudraksha mala visible at his chest, and he smiles upward. Metal scaffolding frames the open-air setting, with a tree and a tiled roof behind him and a partly visible figure in white at the left edge. Clothing and garlands match a person presence on a raised seat, but this is appearance-based only.
