A standing man in a rust-orange turban and rust-orange dhoti with gold-bordered wrap raises both palms in a blessing or teaching gesture. He wears a dense rudraksha-style mala and a heavy gold bead necklace with a pendant, plus beaded wrist and arm bands. A red-brown bindi marks his forehead. Behind him is a gold-draped altar decorated with white and purple garlands and a golden deity murti with a crown. A tall golden ceremonial fan stands at right and striped rugs cover the floor.
