A photograph of a man seated on an ornate silver throne with repoussé floral and scrollwork backrest, a silver carved armrest and a leopard-print cushion, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a tall black dreadlock-style turban bound with rudraksha beads, a white vertical tilak with a central mark on his forehead, a red-orange draped cloth over his shoulders and a gold chain necklace. His eyes are closed, hands rest together in his lap, and a silver ceremonial staff stands at left. The blue backdrop suggests a stage setting.
