A photograph of a seated man in a reddish-brown (maroon) dhoti-style wrap and matching shawl, wearing a long strand of rudraksha beads and a large gold ceremonial necklace, with a white tilak on his forehead and long dark hair. He sits on an ornate silver and red-cushioned throne (peetha) and holds a silver staff topped with a carved crowned figure. Behind him, several people in saffron/orange and white clothing sit and stand; a fan stands at left and a person's head is in the lower foreground.
