A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on an ornate red velvet throne with a tiger-skin rug draped over the seat, holding a tall black staff with brass fittings upright beside him. He wears saffron-orange robes, a rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklaces, a white and red forehead mark, and gold armbands. Two brass oil lamps stand on either side of the dais, with pink flower arrangements and a water bottle nearby. The backdrop is a dark painted cloth with a crescent moon and nebula-like glowing sky.
