A photograph of a smiling man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a deep red cushion and gold lion-carved armrests. He wears a saffron-orange garment draped over one shoulder with a gold-bordered sash, a long strand of gold-beaded necklace, and has a tilak mark and long dark hair. A small brass oil lamp stands at the left, with a gold-and-white beaded curtain behind him. Appearance cues (long swept hair, saffron clothing, ornate gold necklaces, throne) give a person identification in the seated role of speaker.
