A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved shell-like backrest and gilded base, draped in rose petals. He wears a rust-orange turban, a white jasmine garland with red flowers, a brown beaded mala and orange-red robes, with gold armbands and bangles on his wrists. He sits with eyes closed and a broad smile, hands resting on orange cushioned armrests, feet bare. Purple stage lighting and a painted backdrop of vines surround him. A figure matching the page's a person reference, with turban, garland and mala cues, appears on the throne at the Varanasi session.
