A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair and a tilak on his forehead, wearing a rust-red shawl over his shoulder, a leopard-print garment beneath, and a dark rudraksha mala with a gold-toned ceremonial necklace. He sits on a golden throne with eyes closed and a gentle smile, beside a tall black staff and a silver ceremonial sword. Behind him is a large carved relief of a seated deity with a trident in hand, and a second carved figure of a bearded sage. Peacock feathers, brass kalasha-style vessels and a golden trident backdrop complete the temple-like setting.
