A photograph of a man seated on an ornate golden throne with leopard-print cushions and golden lion armrests, his hands joined in namaskar. He wears a rudraksha mala and bracelets, a bare upper body with a rust-red cloth draped over his shoulder, and a tall dark matted topknot with a horizontal white tilak. Oil lamps with burning wicks hang from the top of the throne and sit on a lamp tray in front of the lion, with fairy lights strung along the ornate gold frame. Another person's arm in a red garment rests beside him, and a hand appears at the lower edge of the frame.
