A photograph of a standing man in a rust-orange kurta and matching dhoti-style wrap, a rust-brown sash at the waist, and a red-and-white bead necklace, holding a tall trident-topped staff in his right hand with his left hand on his hip. He stands in an ornate golden temple-style gateway flanked by gilded lion and yali sculptures, with gold kalasha finials, lit strings of small lamps, and a gilded throne-like seat beside him. Colourful striped rugs cover the floor, and large bronze trident stands and a carved figure with an offering dish flank the scene. Painted pink and turquoise deity figures appear on the side walls. The man's appearance is not clear enough to determine identity, so he is described only by role and attire.
