A seated figure in an orange saffron robe drapes the cloth over the lap, with one bare hand resting on an ornate gold ceremonial staff decorated with ringed bands and a pointed tip. The seat is upholstered in red fabric with dark zebra-stripe patterning. Only the torso, arms and hand are visible; the face is cropped out of the frame. The figure's identity is not established from appearance, so the person is described by role as a seated sannyasi holding a gold staff.
