A seated man with a shaved head and a red-orange bindi on his forehead sits in a gilded throne with carved arched backrest and two golden lion heads on the armrests, cushioned in red velvet. He wears a saffron-orange sannyasi robe with a yellow-gold border and a rudraksha mala around his neck, and his palms are pressed together in namaste with eyes closed. A white bandage wraps his right forearm. The backdrop is a large printed image of temple pillars with carved figures in sepia tones. A tiger-striped cloth covers the dais, with red flower petals scattered at the base.
