A photograph of a seated man on a red cushioned throne in front of a large ornate gold backdrop with carved scrollwork. He wears a saffron-orange robe, a leopard-print shawl over his shoulders, a long rudraksha mala of dark beads, and a red bindi with white marks on his forehead. His long dark hair is swept back, and his right hand is raised in a gesture while his left rests on his lap. Purple and white flowers and green foliage decorate the sides, with a dark blue curtain behind and audience heads visible at the bottom edge. Appearance cues suggest a person seated in a teaching role.
