A seated man in a studio portrait against a purple backdrop, wearing bare-chested ceremonial dress of maroon and gold: layered maroon rudraksha-style beaded malas, a large gold pendant necklace, beaded armbands and shoulder ornaments, and a maroon dhoti with gold trim. He has long dark hair swept back, a white and red tilak on his forehead, and gold earrings, smiling and gazing to one side with one hand resting on a silver trident-topped stand and the other holding a gold ritual cup. A silver throne with ornate carving sits behind him. a person by appearance cues including long swept-back hair, ornate ceremonial adornments and malas, though the photo is a staged studio portrait.
