A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, in front of a gilded relief carving of a deity. He wears a red-orange robe, a rudraksha mala with a large golden pendant and a gold necklace, and raises one hand in blessing. Long dark hair falls over his shoulders. Beside the throne, a woman in a red-orange sari with a long dark braid sits with a book-like object in her lap. At left, two men in white dhotis with gold borders stand near a red curtain; one bends forward, apparently attending the seated man. A gold trident and a brass lamp stand nearby.
