A close portrait photograph of a man wearing a deep maroon-brown turban with a gold ornamental brooch and a gold serpent-shaped pin on the front. He has a horizontal white tilak with a red dot on the forehead, a pink and white beaded garland around his neck, and a maroon shawl. In the lower right, he holds or sits beside a white silver-toned figure of Nandi the bull on a pedestal. Behind him, a red drape and gold ornamental carving fill the background. The turban, gold ornaments and maroon shawl with the white-and-pink garland give the image a formal ceremonial look.
