A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with carved lion heads on a stage decorated with a deep maroon curtain and colourful tassel hangings. He wears rust-orange robes, a gold necklace, a pink-and-white flower garland and a tilak on his forehead, with arms resting on red cushions and hands in a meditative pose. Golden trident staffs and a small framed picture stand beside him, a microphone is positioned at right, and a golden deity murti with a trident is mounted above the throne. The figure's appearance matches the page's a person reference only partially, with ceremonial clothing and gold jewellery as cues, so identity remains uncertain.
