A seated man with a broad smile sits cross-legged on a deep red velvet cushion before an ornate silver-toned throne with a lion-face relief and hanging gold tassels. He is bare-chested, wearing layered rudraksha malas, a gold ceremonial pendant, a white beaded necklace, gold armlets and many rings, with rust-red cloth wrapped at his waist and legs. A white forehead band with a red dot marks his brow. The background is a warm orange and red sky with mountain silhouettes. a person is shown in the regal pose of a sitting pontiff, with the qualifying cues of rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklaces.
