An old man with manuscript

The old man who seems like a Pandit (Hindu scholar) is seated against a pedestal on a terrace and probably reciting mantras (hyms) from a manuscript held in his left hand. He wears a rose coloured turban and a yellow dhoti (lower body garment). A small desk and flasks are kept below and a lady is also seated there.
