A shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron robe sits with his back to the camera on a green floor before a wall of deep red velvet curtains. A small brass oil lamp sits on the floor beside him. To the left, a person in white with a white cloth tied on the head sits in profile, and a partially visible figure in white appears at the lower left and right edges. The saffron-robed figure is a monastic seated in front of a stage; the image shows no clear face and no readable identity cues beyond the robe and shaved head.
