Photo of a smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a carved golden back and a red and white flower garland arched above it. He wears a sleeveless orange-saffron wrap over a red-orange long-sleeved top, a long brown rudraksha mala draped across the chest, and gold hoop earrings. A red bindi marks his forehead and he holds a gold ceremonial staff in one hand. Bare feet rest on a maroon velvet cushion with blue patterned fabric, and a cream and gold tasselled pillow lies in front. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated in a ceremonial setting with a throne and garland, consistent with a satsang or darshan event.
