Close portrait photograph of a smiling bearded man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved gilded scrollwork. He wears a tall black turban with a white horizontal tilak across the forehead, and raises his right hand in a blessing gesture. Around his neck hangs a long rudraksha mala with gold spacers and a large gold pendant, and his wrist shows gold bangles and a beaded bracelet. His upper body is bare beneath the adornments, and a gold mesh-like panel frames the throne.
