Close photograph of a man seated before an ornate gold throne with carved floral and scrollwork backrest. He wears a bright orange saffron shawl draped over one shoulder and a heavy gold bead necklace of large ornamental beads on his chest, with a red bindi on his forehead and dark hair swept back.

The scene suggests a guided initiation or blessing, with the orange robe and gold throne as dominant colours.
