A seated man with closed eyes sits in meditation on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head arms and leopard-print cushions. He wears a rust-orange turban with a jewelled ornament and a feather-like plume, an orange-brown shawl and dhoti, layered gold necklaces, a large gold pendant, gold armbands and bangles, and a vertical kumkum mark on his forehead. His hands rest folded in his lap. A microphone stand is at his side and a white ceremonial staff with a serpent-like curve leans to the left. Behind him a gold repoussé backrest with winged motifs fills the frame. The photo appears to show a discourse setting.
