A photograph of a seated man in orange saffron robes on an ornate gilded throne with a carved golden backrest and red velvet cushions. He wears long rudraksha mala beads around his neck and matching beaded bands on his upper arms, and gestures open-handed toward his left while smiling. He sits on a white fringed cloth, with a silver staff or trident leaning beside the throne. A brass oil lamp stands at left and a silver-topped staff rises behind him against a burlap-textured backdrop. Appearance-based label: a person, seated in a teaching posture with distinctive saffron robes, rudraksha malas and throne.
