A photograph of a bearded man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne, with bare feet and a rust-brown dhoti or wrap. He wears a tall black head covering with a white band across the forehead, multiple strands of gold chains, a rudraksha-style mala and a large gold pendant with a deity motif. He rests his hands on his knees, with a small brass plate of offerings beside him. Behind him are gold draped curtains, two golden ornamental staffs, and gilded statues of a deity and a figure playing a veena.
