A seated man in a maroon-red sleeveless wrap and layered brown rudraksha malas smiles at the camera. He wears a leopard-print turban with a dark topknot, has a white ash band and red tilak on his forehead, and a gold pendant on a chain. Rudraksha bands are on his upper arms and wrist. Behind him stands a large golden sunburst-style backdrop with a white ornamental seat. Brass lamp stands flank him, a microphone is at his face, and a stone mortar with a pestle sits in the foreground on a patterned carpet.
