A photograph of a man in a deep maroon-brown robe seated on an ornate silver-trimmed red throne, wearing a heavy gold necklace with a large pendant, rudraksha bracelets and a rudraksha mala, with long dark hair and a vertical tilak on the forehead. He reaches toward a silver plate held by a bare-chested young priest wearing a white sacred thread and a white tilak, who stands at a small black stand. Behind them is a grey carved stone altar with a deity murti, a brass lamp and orange drapes. Silver lion-head figures sit at the base of the throne. Printed copyright text appears at the lower right.
