Close-up photograph of a seated person's upper body from the chest down, wearing a cream silk garment with a gold border draped over one shoulder and a red-maroon cloth with a gold band at the waist. Long multi-strand rudraksha mala necklaces with gold spacer beads and a large gold and green-red jewelled pendant hang on the chest, along with a gold ornament. A matching rudraksha armlet with small coloured stone accents is worn on the upper arm. A gold-carved throne or seat edge is visible at the left. Only the torso and arm are visible, so the face is not shown. The garment, malas and adornments suggest a ceremonial priestly or swami role, but identity is uncertain from this view.
