A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with a carved gold backrest, flanked by golden lion figures and red tiger-striped cushions. He wears a red-orange turban with a red jewel, a red-orange shawl over an orange-red garment with gold border, a long gold-beaded necklace, and beaded wrist bands. He has a red bindi and a microphone near his mouth, gesturing with one raised hand while the other rests on the armrest. Beside the throne stands a silver trident with a black serpent coiled around its shaft. Red velvet curtains form the backdrop. The man's appearance is consistent with a person (a person) seated as a teacher, based on the turban, saffron-red robes, rudraksha-style gold beads and throne setting; this identification is uncertain from appearance alone.
