A smiling man stands against a black starry backdrop, bare-chested and adorned for a Kalabhairava-themed ceremonial portrait. He wears a white tripundra on his forehead with a red bindi, long dark hair, and rudraksha malas crossing his chest and shoulders with small golden bells. His waist is wrapped in a leopard-print cloth over a rust-orange dhoti, with a gold pendant at the hip. In his raised right hand he holds a braided rope whip, and in his left hand a golden staff extends at the right edge. Bangles of rudraksha encircle his wrists and upper arms. A small copyright line appears at the lower right corner.
