A photograph of a standing figure on a stage before an ornate gold throne with purple cushions and a leopard-print seat, against a starry night backdrop with a mountain silhouette. The figure wears a red-magenta turban with a gold ornament, a magenta-red draped garment, layered red and beaded rudraksha-style malas, a gold pendant and a long garland of red, green and gold flowers. The figure holds a silver trident in the right hand and makes a blessing gesture with the left hand while smiling. Red and pink flower petals and a small floral arrangement sit beside the throne, with oil lamps in the foreground on a patterned rug. The figure matches the appearance cues of a person with a distinctive turban, malas and trident, so the attribution is appearance-based only.
