A smiling man with long dark hair, a full beard and a red bindi stands on a gilded stage in front of an ornate jewelled backdrop with a heart-shaped halo of gems in purple, green and white. He wears a rust-orange dhoti-style wrap, a gold-bordered cloth over one shoulder, layered gold necklaces with pendants, gold armlets and bangles, and raises both open hands in blessing.
