The staff is a dark cobra-shaped rod with gold scale-pattern detailing and a small red-jewelled hooded head. Its gold-toned top is an ornate deity-style head with a crown-like carved ornament, resting against a rust-orange cloth draped over a person's lap. The person wears gold-toned bangles, and the background is dark with blurred figures in a hall.2015-12-18Close photograph of a hand holding a large gold cobra-hooded staff or sceptre against a plain mauve backdrop. The hand wears a bracelet of rudraksha beads with gold spacers, and a small gold pendant with a deity relief hangs from the staff's base. A red cloth lies below. No face is visible, so no person can be identified and there is no visible evidence of a person's presence.2020-03-04 +2 copiesDecember 18 20152015-12-18Close-up photo of a hand gripping a dark wooden staff carved with a coiled cobra whose hood rises at the top, with a gold-finished carved animal head. A wrist is wrapped in red and gold-beaded rudraksha-style bracelets, and red fabric with a patterned print is visible at the bottom.

The image shows a ceremonial staff, not a person's face.2014-07-20Photo 11727870 +2 copiesClose-up photograph of a seated figure's arm and hand gripping a dark wooden staff entwined by a brown and black snake. The wearer has orange-red rudraksha bracelets on the wrist and wears an orange-red cloth over the lap with a red tiger-striped garment beneath. A green leaf garland hangs at the left edge. Behind is a large ornate gold sculpture of a bird or mythical animal head with detailed feathers. Only a hand and arm are visible; the face is not shown, so no candidate can be confirmed from this frame.2014-07-20July 21 20142014-07-21March 07 20202020-03-07 +2 copiesA smiling man with long dark hair tied back sits on a gold-ornate throne-like seat in front of a gold-toned draped backdrop.
