A photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate gilded palanquin or throne with a deep red velvet cushion, decorated with garlands of white jasmine and purple and pink flowers. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and a leopard-print sleeveless garment, a long red rudraksha-style mala across his chest, a gold bangle, and a white vibhuti line on his forehead. He raises a gold, ribbed, cylindrical vessel with both hands. Behind him hang colourful tassels in orange, green, yellow and red from a golden canopy. A procession-style setting. The person's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
