Photograph of a smiling bearded man seated before an ornate gold throne with carved floral scrollwork. He wears a large black turban, bare-chested, with multiple strands of rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold-bead necklaces across his chest, and a thin gold chain. His right hand is raised near his ear in a gesture of blessing or speech. A red-orange curtain edge appears at the right. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated in a teaching setting.
