A seated man with long dark hair and eyes closed sits with hands folded in front of his chest, on a cream-colored fur-patterned sofa. He wears a white dhoti and shawl with broad gold zari borders, a gold and green jewelled necklace, a heavy gold bead mala with a central gold pendant, and a yellow and red marigold garland. A red bindi and white vibhuti mark his forehead. Behind him stand red roses, white baby's breath and an orange draped fabric backdrop. A second person's white-clad leg is visible at the left edge. The photo appears to be from a Dhyana Spurana convention session, with the seated figure matching the appearance-based cues of a person, wearing long hair, saffron-toned drapery and ornate gold adornments.
