A photograph of a seated figure in an ornate wooden armchair with carved scroll arms. The figure has long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and white-and-yellow tilak marks on the forehead, and wears layered rudraksha malas with a green bead strand and a gold pendant. Clothing is orange-red with a gold-striped shawl draped over one shoulder, and a thin lavender beaded bracelet is on one wrist. The hands rest on the lap, holding a mala. Blurred audience members in the background suggest a gathering, with a small object on the chair arm. Several rudraksha and ceremonial gold ornaments are prominent cues for a person presence, shown seated in a listening or teaching posture.
