Close-up photograph of a seated figure on a red velvet throne with gold-embossed edges, wearing saffron-orange draped clothing and a white jasmine garland with a hanging strand of red roses. The hands are folded together in the lap, holding a red and white flower garland. Red velvet bolsters flank the seat, and a border of white garlands and gold carving runs along the front of the throne. The face is not visible; the frame is cropped at the chest and feet. Appearance-based label: the figure's saffron clothing and garland suggest a sannyasi, but no identifying cues are visible enough to name anyone, so this is a sannyasi seated on a peetha, and identity is unsure.
