Photo of a man seated on an ornate gold throne (peetha) decorated with floral garlands in yellow, purple, red and white. He wears a gold crown with jewelled detailing, a red and gold brocade sherwani with a cream dhoti, a long gold necklace, a cream shawl draped over one shoulder, and multiple rings. He holds a silver staff topped with a bird finial and smiles slightly. Behind him are golden deity-like figures and a green cloth. A title in the page suggests a spiritual leader; the figure is seated on a throne, which alone does not establish identity. Single person visible.
