A smiling man in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange turban sits on an ornate gold throne carved with floral and scrollwork motifs, flanked by gold lion-head armrests. He wears a dark rudraksha mala around his neck and a red bindi, and raises both palms outward in a gesturing, teaching pose. Behind the throne is an arch of marigold-style garlands in yellow, red and purple flowers, and a red-and-gold backdrop. The photograph is an in-person discourse setting.
