A man with long swept-back dark hair and a full beard sits on an ornate gold throne upholstered in leopard-print fabric, wearing an orange-brown saffron-toned robe with a sash, many rudraksha mala beads across his chest and a long red-and-white beaded garland. He has a white tilak on his forehead and gestures outward with his right hand, smiling. In the foreground a partly visible person's head and shoulders are in the frame. Behind the throne a golden peacock-style structure with green and orange trim rises, with a golden carved pedestal and floral offerings at lower left. Visible text is limited, so this is a photo of a seated teacher delivering a discourse.
