A photograph of a man seated on a red and black zebra-patterned cushioned seat in front of an ornate gilded backdrop with a serpent-hood-like carved design. He has long, swept-back black hair, a white tilak on his forehead, and a yellow and pink flower garland above his brow. He wears a saffron-orange cloth draped over one shoulder with gold border, and his eyes are closed as he extends one arm toward a green and beige woven mat wall. A brass or wooden staff rests across his lap, and a plate with offerings sits at the lower right. The seated figure appears to be a person by visible cues of long hair, saffron clothing, flower garland and ceremonial seating.
