A photograph of a bare-chested man seated before a large fire, with a silver trident on the left and a silver ceremonial staff topped with a gold crown beside him. He wears rudraksha malas across his chest, arms and wrists, a leopard-print cloth over his shoulder, a white horizontal tilak with a central red dot, and a metal necklace. He touches his forehead with his right hand while smiling with eyes closed. Behind him, a silver-decorated seat and blazing flames fill the background. The scene resembles a ritual homa, with a visible fire and ceremonial objects.
