A man stands in profile wearing a bright orange-saffron shawl draped over his shoulder and torso, with a heavy necklace of large gold beads with dark bands hanging from his neck. His hair is swept back and he has a red kumkum dot on his forehead; he looks downward while one hand holds the gold necklace. The background is a dim reddish wall with a partly visible figure in orange at the left edge. Given the saffron clothing, ornate gold necklace and swept-back hair, this is a probable Swamiji with a sannyasi role, appearance-based only.
