Photo of a smiling man seated cross-legged on a golden throne draped with a striped tiger-skin cloth. He wears a rust-orange shawl over the shoulder and torso, a thick gold garland and a heavy gold ornamental necklace with a central pendant, and a red bindi with white vertical tilak on the forehead. He holds a long gold staff with a decorated tip in one hand and a beaded rudraksha-style mala in the other. Behind him stand gilded deity murti figures in front of a golden draped backdrop, with green potted plants on either side. a person: long dark hair, full beard and the saffron-orange shawl with gold ornaments match the page, but the appearance cues are not conclusive enough to confirm identity.
