Close-up photograph of a man seated before an ornate gold throne with carved floral and scroll patterns and rounded knobs. He wears a red kumkum dot on his forehead, has short dark hair swept back, and is bare-chested with a saffron-orange shawl draped over one shoulder with a gold border. He wears a heavy gold bead necklace of ceremonial mala beads. His gaze is directed to the side. a person in an appearance-based sense: the presentation shows a golden throne, orange wrap and gold malas, but the face and features are not used for identification.
