A photograph of a smiling man with long swept-back black hair, wearing a white embroidered kurta and layered beaded necklaces with a red bindi on his forehead, gesturing with open hands raised toward the upper right. Behind him is a large gilded golden throne-like seat decorated with white flower garlands and ornate scrollwork, beside a blue painted backdrop with a swirling globe-like design and a white wheel motif. The setting appears to be a stage during a formal session. Visible appearance cues are consistent with the presentation of the spiritual leader a person, seated in person.
