A photograph of a seated man in an elaborate ceremonial costume against a deep blue starry backdrop. He wears a tall dark turban topped with a silver crescent moon, a white forehead band with a red dot, and layered rudraksha beads across his chest, arms, wrists and shoulders, with a small cobra-like ornament at the shoulder. His clothing combines maroon fabric with orange-and-black tiger-stripe cloth at the waist and ankles. He sits on a velvet maroon cushion before an ornate silver throne with a gold trident-like staff at his left. One person is visible.
