A seated man in a saffron-orange robe sits cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with red velvet cushions and red tiger-striped armrests, hands pressed together in namaste. He wears a rudraksha mala, a red bindi on his forehead and a white arm wrap, with his bare feet visible on the throne. Behind him a large backdrop photo shows an aerial view of a South Indian temple complex with a tall gopuram tower and red-roofed halls. Gold lamps with bird-shaped tops flank the throne, and small offerings of flowers and fruit sit on the red-draped platform.
