A seated man is photographed frontally before an ornate embossed silver backrest, with a lion motif and a warm, dim interior with lit oil lamps behind him. He wears a tall crown-like headdress of rudraksha beads with gold-tipped ornaments, a white band across the forehead and a dark tilak at the centre. His bare torso is weighed down with layered rudraksha and gold-bead necklaces, a dark green bead mala, a large ornate gold pendant, and ornate gold armlets on both upper arms, with a reddish-brown shawl draped over one shoulder. In front of him on a draped orange-brown cloth stand a gold covered vessel and a tall gold chalice with engraved designs.
