Close-up photograph of a bearded man seated before an ornate silver backrest with a crescent-moon finial and a lion-head relief. He wears a tall, high-piled black hair crown adorned with rudraksha beads and gold flowers, a white vertical tilak with a red bindi on the forehead, and heavy gold necklaces with large gold beads and a jewelled pendant over a bare chest with rudraksha malas. He raises his right hand in a blessing gesture and smiles.
