A man with long swept-back dark hair sits cross-legged on an orange cushion outdoors, wearing a bright pink dhoti and shawl with dark trim, a multi-strand gold necklace of large beads and a pendant, and a red bindi. His right hand is extended forward with fingers gesturing, while his left hand rests in his lap. A small brass vessel stands on a mat in front, with an orange stone structure and a stone wall behind him. The garments and gold adornments suggest a presiding figure, though the appearance is not conclusive.
