A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a red-brown cushion, hands pressed together in namaste and a broad smile. He has a tall black turban-style headpiece with a white band across the forehead, bare-chested with a patterned gold-and-brown wrap, and wears several dark rudraksha malas and a gold pendant necklace. Behind him hangs gold draped curtain. Flanking the throne are a golden trishul on the left, a golden kalasha-like pot on a tray, and gold figures of a female deity with a drum-like instrument on the left and a seated figure playing a veena on the right, plus gold ceremonial fans.
