A photograph of a seated man in a brown-orange ochre robe draped over one shoulder, wearing a heavy gold multi-strand necklace, a gold pendant with a temple motif, gold bangles and a red bindi, smiling with eyes closed. He sits before a large throne backdrop heavily decorated with bands of yellow marigolds, red and white roses, purple flowers and green leaves, with a golden lion-like carving at the top. In the left foreground a person in a white garment with an orange-patterned shawl faces him, reaching toward him. A pale drum or cymbal rim is visible at lower right. The scene resembles a Guru Purnima bhiksha offering, with the seated figure an appearance-based a person on a flower-decorated peetha.
