Close-up photograph of a smiling bearded man seated on an ornate gilded throne with carved floral scrollwork. He wears a large black turban with a silver crescent ornament, white and orange tilak markings on his forehead, and is bare-chested beneath layered ceremonial necklaces of gold coins and coral beads, black beads, rudraksha malas and gold chains, plus gold hoop earrings. The distinctive visible cues of the turban, crescent, elaborate beadwork and gold jewellery are consistent with the page's reference to a person. Faint copyright text overlays the lower right corner.
