A photo of a bearded man with long dark hair and a white-and-red forehead marking sits with eyes closed, hands pressed together in prayer around a gold-and-green star-shaped ornamental staff. He wears an orange-brown shawl over bare shoulders and a garland of pink lotus flowers and white beads. Behind him stand gold ornaments, including a gilded lion-head form and a golden figure, with blurred figures in the background.
