A photograph of a man seated on an ornate golden throne with leopard-print cushions, flanked by golden lion sculptures. He wears a dark braided topknot, a rudraksha mala, and a rust-red shawl draped over his shoulders and lap, with a white tilak on his forehead; his eyes are closed in meditation. Hanging brass bells and small brass oil lamps with green thread wicks hang near the throne, and a silver vessel stands at left. The gilded throne back has carved floral reliefs. Appearance-based label: a person, seated on a peetha in a ritual setting.
