A photograph of a man seated with eyes closed in a meditative, devotional pose before an ornate gold-leaf backdrop of carved deity figures. He wears a white tilak with a red vertical mark on his forehead, a red-orange cloth draped over his shoulders, and a thick garland of white flowers and pink lotus blossoms with green leaves, along with a gold chain and beaded necklace. Strings of small yellow lights hang against a dark background on the right. The a person label is uncertain because the appearance cues are limited and the page's a person attribution cannot be verified from appearance alone; the figure is a devotee-style presence in ceremonial garlands rather than a clearly identified teacher.
