A man stands barefoot on a red-and-gold patterned rug on a stage, arms raised with palms open in greeting or blessing. He wears a rust-brown dhoti and a rust-brown shawl bordered with gold, a gold waist cloth, a long gold-bead garland with a central pendant, gold bangles and a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him is an ornate gold throne with a leopard-skin cushion and a maroon back cushion. A silver trident stands to the right beside a brass lamp stand, with potted plants on both sides and a painted backdrop of old temple-lined city buildings in orange and grey. A brass bell hangs from the ceiling at upper right. The image is a stage photograph of a satsang setting; a person is an appearance-based candidate with long hair, rust-brown robes and gold adornments, but the identification is uncertain.
