A close-up photograph of a man seated against a deep red upholstered backrest with gold carved trim. He wears an orange saffron shawl with a broad gold border draped over his shoulder and chest, and a heavy multi-strand gold necklace with black-banded beads and a gold pendant bearing a small deity or temple motif, plus a finer gold chain. He has a white tilak on his forehead with a red bindi at the centre and a bare, muscular upper body visible at the shoulders.
