A photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate carved wooden throne with a cream floral-brocade cushioned back, in front of deep burgundy velvet drapes. He wears a green and gold-bordered silk garment draped over one shoulder, a long wooden bead mala necklace, and a red bindi on his forehead. His shaved head and bare upper body show him seated in a relaxed posture with arms folded in his lap. To his left stands a white pedestal with a small basket of orange and white artificial flowers and a few papers, and a water bottle sits on a side table to his right. The stage setting suggests a seated discourse. Appearance-based cues: a bare-shouldered figure with a mala and a green-and-gold garment on an ornate throne, but not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity.
