Close photograph of a man seated in a gilded, flower-decorated setting, eyes lowered and mouth slightly open as if speaking. He wears a red-orange garment, a red bindi, a small gold earring, a long mala of large gold beads interspersed with rudraksha beads, and a silver pendant on a cord. Heavy garlands of pink lotus-like flowers and white and red marigold-style blooms surround him, and a small green parakeet perches on the flowers at his left shoulder. Behind him, an ornate gold-leaf structure suggests a ratha or throne canopy.
