A photograph of a smiling man with long dark swept-back hair seated cross-legged on a red velvet throne with a tall curved backrest. He wears saffron-orange robes draped over the shoulder and torso, multiple rudraksha mala strands, a gold ceremonial pendant necklace, gold armlets and a gold waist ornament. A white tilak with a red bindi marks his forehead. He holds a small metal bell on a tall black staff in his right hand and extends his left hand to offer a small yellow sweet on a plate to a visible hand at the lower left. Flowers and a red-and-purple backdrop surround him, with a partly visible orange cloth at the lower right. A watermarked copyright overlay appears on the right, which is not transcribed.
