A photograph of a man standing barefoot on a white stage, raising both arms high above his head in an exuberant gesture. He wears a saffron-orange sannyasi robe draped over one shoulder and bare on the other, a rudraksha mala with a gold pendant, rudraksha bracelets on the upper arms and wrists, and a gold and yellow flower crown. Behind him is a gilded arched throne-like backdrop with a golden cloth, and beside him stands a deity murti dressed in a green skirt, white jewellery and a garland of mixed flowers in red, yellow and white. Maroon velvet curtains frame the stage, and a red patterned rug lies at the bottom edge.
