A close frontal photograph of a smiling man with a white urdhva-style Vaishnava tilak painted on his forehead and nose, wearing an ornate gold crown with a red stone, gold and jewelled circular earrings, layered pearl and gem necklaces, and gold armlets over bare shoulders. He is set against a black background framed by colourful floral garlands in pink, yellow, white and navy. Gold ornamental metalwork pieces flank his shoulders. The jewelled, decorated appearance suggests a deity alankaram style of adornment.
