A smiling man with a full dark beard sits on a dark red velvet throne framed by ornate gold carvings. He wears a maroon turban with a white feather, a jewelled gold crown ornament, and a red bindi. Multiple rudraksha mala necklaces and a gold pendant hang on his bare chest, with a rust-brown draped shawl over his shoulders and gold armlets. Swept-back long hair and ornate gold regalia mark this as a person seated portrait; he is depicted in a formal ceremonial photograph.
