A photograph of a smiling man standing on a stage before a deep red curtain, raising both palms outward in a gesture of blessing or teaching. He wears a white forehead mark with a central bindi, a long garland of white jasmine and red and yellow flowers, a gold pendant, a rudraksha mala with gold beads and bracelets, and a rust-brown garment wrapped at the waist. Beside him stands a trident-like ceremonial staff, and behind him a large gilded throne with a carved hooded serpent canopy in gold. Printed text on the lower right reads a copyright notice. A man in these visible cues, with a rudraksha mala and gold adornments, is a person depiction from the page; he is present in person in the photo.
