A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on a golden swing decorated with red, pink and green flower garlands, on a stage set with painted temple-style pillars and a large golden door. He wears a golden crown, a rudraksha-style necklace and an ornate gold pendant, a flower garland, and a reddish-brown silk garment, with his palms pressed together near his face. Two standing painted deity figures flank the swing, one holding a trident-like staff, and brass lamps and a silver vessel stand on the red carpet. Flower garlands, the swing and the sanctum-like decor suggest a ritual or satsang setting, and a lit brass oil lamp is visible at right.
