A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on a golden swing decorated with pink, red and white flower garlands, sitting on a striped tiger-skin cushion. He wears a gold crown, a rust-orange robe, a gold necklace, a rudraksha-style bead mala, a pink and white flower garland, and gold armbands, with his palms pressed together at chest level and a broad smile. Behind him stand two painted-plaster deity statues in orange and red, one holding a trident, flanked by a green-and-gold stage backdrop with a large golden door. A silver kalasha-style vessel and a brass oil lamp stand nearby, with a small golden lion figure at the base of the swing. The scene resembles a ceremonial stage display in a temple-style setting.
