A photograph of a man standing on a raised stage in front of an ornate golden throne (peetha) with carved golden panels and a gilded arch. He wears saffron-orange robes, a bare upper body with layered rudraksha malas and a gold ceremonial necklace, a red tilak on his forehead and a tall crown, and raises one hand in greeting. A trident (trishula) stands beside him, and a golden bull figure sits at the lower right. Brass oil lamps and hanging bells surround the stage under warm orange lighting.
