A smiling man sits before an ornate silver backrest embossed with scrollwork and a lion face, against a dramatic orange and dark cloudy sky backdrop. He is bare-chested, wearing layered brown rudraksha malas, a large gold pendant with a dancing deity figure, and a bangle of rudraksha beads on his upper arm. A white tilak with a red bindi marks his forehead, and a clip-on microphone is attached near his mouth. A partial silver object appears at the far left edge. This is an appearance-based a person in a seated teaching posture, identified by rudraksha malas, ceremonial gold pendant and sacred markings rather than by face.
