A photograph of an ornate temple-style stage set in warm orange lighting, with two tall golden dvarapala-like guardian statues flanking the frame. A bearded man in a maroon-brown dhoti and sash stands before a gold-trimmed throne flanked by two gold lion figures, his palms pressed together in a namaste greeting. He wears rudraksha malas and a gold necklace, and has a crown on his head. Hanging brass bells and small oil lamps dangle from chains in front of a dark slate wall, and a brass lamp sits in the foreground.
