Portrait photograph of a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair, white and red tripundra markings on forehead and arms, and a red bindi. He wears a shawl-like cloth and layered rudraksha malas, with a long rudraksha ornament, earrings and bead armlets. He sits before an ornate silver-embossed throne and rests his hand on a wooden book stand holding a book. Lighting is warm with a dark red background.
