A man in a rust-red draped sleeveless robe with a red-beaded rudraksha-style trim stands on a light tiled floor in a hall. He has a tall, dark sculpted topknot-style hair arrangement, a white tilak on his forehead and a thick beard, and wears a gold necklace. A wooden chair with brown upholstery sits at left beside a pale wall and a wooden door. At right, a large ornate gold-finished palanquin-like throne with a leopard-print cushion and gold lion figures sits behind a rope barrier, with a printed portrait on it. Appearance-based a person cues: long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklace and red-trimmed ochre robes, though identity is uncertain.

He stands in a room beside an ornate gilded throne with lion-head armrests and a leopard-print cushion, and a portrait of a smiling figure in a red turban and beaded garlands sits on the throne's left side. A plain white wall, a pale orange doorway and a striped cloth on the floor complete the setting.2018-05-12May 21 20182018-05-21 +1 copiesMay 18 20172017-05-18Photograph of a standing man with long dark hair piled into a high crown-like bun, a white forehead mark, and a full beard.

A seated audience, including a woman with a red bindi, is visible at lower right, and a white pedestal fan stands in the foreground.

He wears a gold-bead necklace of thick garlands and a dark headband, with a dark armband on his upper arm. Nearby stand a white carved doorway frame, a wooden door, a small white plastic chair and a carved grey stone pillar.2012-05-12May 12 20182018-05-12A man stands barefoot on a small white step in front of an ornate silver throne with a leopard-print cushion, against deep red stage curtains and a hanging chandelier. He wears a rust-orange turban, an orange-saffron draped garment with gold-bordered edges and a wide orange waist sash, and a thin gold necklace; his eyes are closed. A small side table holds a lit candle. The figure's distinctive presentation, the turban and orange-saffron robes, and the stage setting are the cues, but the face is not visible enough to confirm identity, so the appearance is uncertain. He is the only person visible.2017-11-13May 21 20182018-05-21November 01 20132013-11-01
