Photograph of a single man standing on a stage in front of a gilded ornate arch and a golden throne draped with a tiger-skin cloth. He wears a saffron-orange draped dhoti and shawl with gold-bordered edges, a crescent-topped headpiece, a tilak and a heavy layered gold necklace with a large gold pendant and a gold belt. His eyes are closed and he rests one hand on his hip while holding a tall pink-tinted trident staff. Behind him stand gilded deity murti figures with peacock-feather style halos, and a brass lamp stand and a glowing offering vessel with red flowers sit in the foreground.
