A man with slicked-back dark hair and a red bindi sits cross-legged on a red velvet throne with an ornate gold-leaf back panel. He wears a flowing saffron-orange garment with cream braided edging and a long ceremonial necklace of large gold beads, and his bare feet rest on a white shaggy rug. His right hand rests on the armrest while the left rests on his lap, and he looks off to the side with a slight smile. The orange cloth and gold throne fit the orange and gold palette of the archive's ritual photographs.
