A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing a saffron-orange robe, a thick beaded rudraksha-style necklace, gold necklaces and gold armlets, and holding an open gold-framed printed booklet that a small child leans over to look at.

A silver trident rests beside the throne and a potted plant sits at the right edge. Appearance cues of the seated figure are distinctive but the presentation is ambiguous, so the seated man is described by role as a seated figure receiving the blessing.2015-05-10A seated man in a rust-orange saffron wrap and a long rudraksha mala with ornate gold beads sits on a gold-carved throne with red upholstery, a red tilak on his forehead and gold bangles on his wrist.
