Photo of a seated figure on a gilded golden throne with ornate sunburst-style carving and a leopard-print cushion. The man wears a rust-orange turban with a small brooch-like ornament, orange-saffron draped robes, a multi-strand gold bead mala and a gold pendant, a red wrist thread, and a red tilak on his forehead. He sits cross-legged with his right hand raised in a blessing gesture, smiling, in front of a microphone on a stand. A white ceremonial staff with a serpent-shaped top leans beside him. Behind him hangs deep red drapery. a person in an appearance-based sense: distinctive saffron turban, ornate gold mala and throne cues.
