A dark photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold arched throne, wearing an orange turban, a saffron-orange robe, a heavy beaded rudraksha-style mala and gold necklaces with gold bangles. The figure raises one hand in a blessing gesture. In the foreground, a young girl in white sits on a leopard-print mat before silver puja vessels and a tray of offerings, and two white-clothed devotees sit beside her in prayer. A small wooden side table holds a covered object. The figure appears to be a statue or depiction of the deity-like sage rather than a living person, and the scene suggests puja and darshan.
