A photograph of a smiling man seated close to the camera, wearing an ornate gold jeweled crown set with red, green and pink stones, with long swept-back dark hair falling onto his shoulders. He wears layered pink and magenta flower garlands, a leopard-print sleeveless garment, heavy gold necklaces, a rudraksha mala and a gold armlet shaped like a cobra. White vibhuti marks and a red kumkum dot adorn his forehead. Behind him stand tall gold-tipped ceremonial staffs with green, pink and purple tassels, and a gold ornamental finial is visible in the foreground. The distinctive crown, flowers, ornaments and hair suggest a person, shown as a ceremonial figure in a procession setting.
