A photograph of a smiling man with long dreadlocked hair piled high in a crown-like topknot, wearing rudraksha beads on his head, neck, and arms, a red-brown saffron-toned cloth draped over his body, and a vermilion tilak on his forehead, seated on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print upholstery. He raises one hand in a greeting gesture. Beside him, an older man in a bare-chested white dhoti with a yellow border bows forward while another person's hand supports his back. The silver throne backdrop is richly embossed with deity figures and a red curtain stands at left. a person is the seated figure, identified by the crowned dreadlocks, rudraksha malas and saffron clothing, and he is being honoured by the bowing priest.
