A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a golden arched backrest. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with gold borders, layered rudraksha and beaded necklaces, a thick rudraksha waist band, and beaded armlets and wrist bands. He has a white tilak with a red bindi on his forehead, slicked-back dark hair, and a silver pendant cord at the neck, and his right hand is extended palm-up in a gesture of teaching. The throne sits on a leopard-print cushion. Appearance-based identification is probable: the saffron robes, rudraksha malas, and ceremonial throne match the page's reference to a person, so this is a person seated in a ceremonial setting.
