A seated man in lotus posture sits on a tiered gold-coloured pedestal with a red cushioned top, hands resting in his lap. He wears an ornate gold-patterned wrap over bare shoulders, a beaded mala and a gold necklace, with a tilak and a tall tuft of hair. A tall golden trident stands behind him against a draped gold cloth and blue wall, and a black pot sits to his left. A white electric fan is visible at the lower left edge. The photo is watermarked, and the scene resembles a staged darshan setting.
