A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban with a tilak, wearing a long gold necklace of ornate beads and gold bangles, seated on an ornate gold throne (peetha) with carved lion-headed armrests. The throne is draped in thick garlands of yellow marigolds, red and purple flowers and green leaves, with a gold canopy overhead and white daisies and flower arrangements behind. He smiles and rests his hands on the armrests. A decorated temple-style backdrop and kolam patterns appear below. Only one person is present. The figure's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference, though the cues are ceremonial clothing and throne rather than face-based.
