A seated bearded man in a rust-red sannyasi robe sits on an ornate golden throne in a gilded hall, raising his right hand in a blessing gesture with a rudraksha-style mala on the wrist. He wears a heavy gold necklace with a large gold pendant and a golden crown with an orange turban-like wrap. Flanking him are golden lion-headed guardian figures, gilded carved panels, an ornate sceptre-like staff, brass oil lamps on stands, and garlands of orange and yellow flowers draped over the throne. A small orange bundle sits in the foreground. The photo is credited to
