A photograph of a single person seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests and a tall gold back, decorated with yellow and red flower garlands. The seated person wears an orange-saffron robe with bare arms, long dark hair, and holds palms pressed together in namaste at the chest, eyes closed. Red velvet cushions line the throne, with red boxes holding fruit on each side. The backdrop is a painted orange and yellow sunset-like sky. A rug covers the floor, with a small vase of red flowers at left. The figure's long hair and saffron robe match a person in the sense of a seated spiritual teacher receiving devotion, though the appearance cues are only partially distinctive.
