A smiling man with long dark hair and a white sandalwood mark with a red bindi sits on an ornate gold-framed red throne with a golden lion-face armrest carvings on each side. He wears layered garlands of red, orange and yellow flowers, gold chains, a striped tiger-print shawl over the shoulders, gold armbands and an orange-saffron dhoti, and raises his right hand in a blessing gesture. A thin orange-yellow glow lights the scene, and the image is a candid stage photograph of a seated figure receiving devotees.
