A man stands on a stage in front of a large dark textured backdrop with a carved deity relief. He wears a maroon turban with a silver crescent ornament, a red tilak on his forehead, and a maroon robe under a leopard-print wrap. He wears layered gold garlands, a gold pendant, and red beaded bracelets. He holds a tall silver ceremonial staff in his left hand and raises his right hand in blessing, smiling. Brass lamps are partly visible at the lower edge.
