A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne in a richly decorated hall with pink, green and blue painted walls. He wears a rust-red and maroon dhoti with a matching shawl, a long beaded necklace of gold and rudraksha, and a vertical tilak on his forehead. Tiered gold lamps and hanging brass lamps flank the throne, and white and black zebra-print cloth covers the seat. On the left, a bare-chested priest in orange cloth offers a lit oil lamp or arati tray toward the throne, while a brass lamp burns on the right and an orange cloth lies on the floor. The scene reads as a ceremonial arati or puja before a seated teacher, with the figure presented as a person from his long ornate beads, ornamented red robes and place on the throne.
