A photograph of a bearded man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved floral and lion-form arms, backed by a large gold halo-like backrest and hanging oil lamps. He wears a maroon turban with a sacred mark, maroon robes, layered gold chains, a pink and white flower garland, and holds a brass bell in his raised right hand. Two bare-chested young men in sacred thread and a devotee sit in the foreground at his feet, with fresh flower offerings on the throne base. The setting suggests a pada puja darshan at a temple-style hall.
