A man with a full dark beard sits on an ornate gold throne with a large fan-shaped back carved in lotus-petal patterns, smiling to one side. He wears a maroon-brown turban with small jewelled ornaments, a saffron-brown robe, a rudraksha-style mala and long gold beads, and a white and pink flower garland over his shoulders. Gold armlets are on his upper arm and a red cushion rests on the throne. Beside him are a brass oil lamp with a bird finial, a microphone on a stand, a small red cup on a low table, and a deep burgundy curtain behind. A painted colourful deity mural is partly visible at the left edge. This is a photograph of a discourse setting, with no other people visible.
