A seated man in an orange-saffron sleeveless robe with a red bindi on his forehead sits in a pale mint-green high-backed chair with a red velvet cushion. He has his palms pressed together in namaste near his face with eyes closed, and wears a long necklace of yellow lemon-like fruit beads draped over his shoulders and lap. Behind him hangs deep red velvet drapery. A gold ornamental object rests on the armrest at left and a small white item lies on the armrest at right. Appearance-based cues (orange robe, lemon garland, seated in a ceremonial throne-like chair) suggest a person in a devotional darshan posture; the candidate is physically present.
