A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gilded and red-cushioned throne-like couch with carved silver-toned armrests and a golden backdrop. He wears a rust-orange robe, rudraksha malas, a bold white forehead mark, and a long multicoloured flower garland in pink, white, yellow and red. A forearm band of beads is visible. A red garland hangs above him and a brass lamp sits beside the couch. At the lower left, a person in saffron-toned clothing with a white forehead mark holds a sheet of paper, and a leopard-print cloth lies at the bottom. The figure is identified by the page as a person; appearance cues include the swept-back hair, ceremonial beads and garland, so this is a probable identification.
