A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gilded chaise with orange velvet upholstery and round orange bolsters, against a purple backdrop. He wears a yellow turban with a jewelled ornament, a purple and red silk dhoti-style garment with a yellow shawl draped over one shoulder and across the lap, and a long beaded rudraksha-style mala necklace. He is barefoot, with his feet resting on a gold-coloured footstool, and his hands rest on his lap. Purple flowers and potted green plants frame the throne-like seat, and a small wooden stand with a cloth covering sits at the right edge.
