Photo of a bearded man with long dark hair seated cross-legged on an ornate golden throne on a stage, flanked by two gilded lion sculptures. He wears a red-orange saffron robe, a red-beaded rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, with a silver staff-like rod beside the throne. Behind him a large golden arch and a colourful concentric-circle backdrop are lit by purple, green and white stage lights. Only one person is physically present. Appearance-based identification is probable given the saffron robe, long hair, rudraksha mala and gold necklace, though the page places this at an event.
