A photograph of a standing man in an orange saffron robe and shawl on a richly gilded throne-platform, decorated with yellow, red and purple marigold garlands and a golden umbrella overhead. He wears a gold-bead necklace and a rudraksha-style bead mala, and holds an open printed booklet. Long swept-back hair and a crown-like ornament on the throne suggest a presentation of a revered teacher, but the appearance cues are limited, so identity is unsure. Behind him are white balusters, a tiled roof, bamboo screens and a patterned rangoli floor.
