A smiling man with swept-back long dark hair sits cross-legged on a deep maroon cushion, bare-chested, raising one hand in a gesture of teaching. He wears a maroon dhoti, a dense rudraksha belt, multiple strands of gold beads and rudraksha malas, a gold pendant with a deity relief, and rudraksha armlets and bracelets. White sacred ash marks his forehead, chest and arms, with a red bindi between the brows. Behind him is an ornate silver repoussé backdrop with a heart-shaped panel, and a silver plate rests at his left side against a dark red background.
