A person in saffron-orange robes bows forward at a carved grey stone platform, hands pressed to its edge and head lowered toward the stone in reverence. The wrapped orange garment falls over the shoulders and draped legs, and beaded bracelets are visible on the wrists. Behind the stone are brass lamp stands and a brass cup, a potted plant and banana plants, with a red wall beyond. The figure stands barefoot on a woven mat with a leopard-print cloth on top. Clothing and posture suggest a sannyasi or devotee performing padapuja-style worship; the figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so no identification is made.
