A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on an ornate cream upholstered throne with gold-carved wooden frame and arms, in front of deep red velvet drapes. He wears an orange saffron wrap over his shoulder and draped over his body, with orange lower garments, multi-strand rudraksha malas and a silver-and-gold ceremonial necklace, plus a red bindi on his forehead. His hair is swept back, he is barefoot, and his right hand is raised mid-gesture while speaking. A white fur rug lies at the bottom of the frame. Appearance-based probable candidate: a person, seated on the throne in a discourse setting; identity uncertain.
