A photograph of a long-haired man in a rust-red dhoti-style wrap and heavy gold necklaces and gold armbands, holding a silver and gold ceremonial staff topped with a trident and a small bell-like finial, beside an ornate silver stand. He sits near a red velvet chair with a silver carved back. Blurred background shows a pale pink hall with a few seated people.
