A photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions and a zebra-print cloth draped over the back. He wears a cream turban with a red bindi, saffron-orange dhoti and upper cloth, a long red and yellow garland, rudraksha beads, and gold bangles and armlets. He raises one hand in greeting while his other hand rests on his knee. Brass oil lamps stand behind him, and a tray with flowers, fruit and a small offering plate sits at his feet. The clothing, throne and ritual setting fit a person presentation with distinctive saffron attire, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold ornaments, seated in a position of honour.
