A photograph of a man standing on a raised platform in front of an ornate golden arch studded with jewels and a decorated silver deity murti in the background. He wears a crown-like ornament with a crescent on his head, a horizontal tilak on his forehead, and a reddish-orange draped robe with gold borders, a gold belt, and layered gold and rudraksha-style necklaces. He holds a tall twisted silver trident staff in his raised left hand, with his right hand resting on his hip. A tiger-skin-like cloth covers a seat beside him, and a brass kalasha with red floral decoration sits in the lower right foreground amid hazy warm light.
