A photograph of a man standing on a gilded throne platform on a stage in front of deep red velvet drapes and a large billowing orange flame-coloured cloth. He has long dark wavy hair and wears a leopard-print garment with a dark rudraksha-style bead sash layered with small golden bells, black trousers with gold bands, and beaded bracelets. He holds a silver staff hung with bells in one hand and a flowing white cloth in the other, and is barefoot. The ornate gold throne has lion-faced carved arms and a red patterned cloth below it. a person's presentation cues are distinctive: long swept hair, rudraksha beads, ornate ceremonial attire, and a staff, consistent with a probable identification, though the image alone is not conclusive.
