Close-up photo of a seated person's torso and hand clasping a gold trident-topped staff (a ceremonial trident sceptre with ornate gold bands). The person wears a deep maroon robe and a black-and-gold brocade sash with embossed patterns, and a long gold bead necklace of ribbed, filigreed beads hangs at left. A small clip-on microphone is attached to the robe. Beside the staff sits an ornate gold object with rounded knobs, possibly part of a throne or seat. The image is a detail shot with no visible face, so the wearer cannot be identified from appearance.

He wears a rust-brown turban with a small crescent ornament, a maroon-red draped robe, a heavy gold necklace with a gold pendant, multiple rudraksha mala strands, and orange beaded armbands. Leopard-print cushions surround him, with a gold lion-like carving at the left edge and a red bottle at lower right. A red curtain forms the backdrop.
