Close-up portrait photograph of a smiling man wearing an ornate gold crown with a large golden hood-like headpiece, pearl strands and pink-and-green gemstone ornaments. He has white and red forehead markings, dark lipstick-like lip colour, and raises one hand in a mudra with rings on the fingers. He wears maroon clothing, rudraksha bead malas, a gold pendant necklace and layered gold ceremonial necklaces. Behind him is an ornate silver and gold throne with a lion-face motif and a deep purple-blue backdrop. Appearance-based identification is a person: long hair and ornate gold regalia on a seated throne.
