A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet cushioned seat and back, carved gold lion figures at its base. He wears white and cream silk clothing with gold borders, a red sash at the waist, a rudraksha mala necklace with a gold pendant and green stone ornaments, and a gold chain. He has white and red forehead markings, a red bindi, and gold earrings, and raises both palms outward in a blessing gesture. Silver and red ritual items sit on a tray in the foreground. The setting appears to be a formal temple or ashram stage.
