Photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne against gold drapery. He wears a brown-maroon dhoti with gold borders, bare-chested, with layered rudraksha malas, red coral beads and a large ceremonial gold pendant. He has a white forehead marking with a red dot, raises one hand in blessing and holds a tall silver staff topped with a crescent finial. Beside him stands a gilded statue of a figure playing a stringed instrument, and a silver tray with offerings appears at left.
