A photograph of a man with long, dark, swept-back hair seated on an ornate gold throne with repoussé floral and shell-like carvings. He wears an orange and red-bordered shawl over bare shoulders, a heavy gold bead necklace, and drop earrings with red tassels. A white horizontal tilak and a red bindi mark his forehead, and a thin black cord is visible at his neck. The appearance has several ceremonial cues consistent with a person, seated in a dignified pose. The background is dark with a red stripe.
