A photograph of a seated man on an ornate golden throne with red velvet cushions and a leopard-print cloth. He wears a cream turban with a red tilak, a saffron-yellow kurta and dhoti-style wrap, rudraksha mala beads, and gold bangles on his arms. A long garland of red and yellow flowers hangs from his shoulders to his feet, and he sits barefoot with his gaze to the side. Brass oil lamps with lit flames stand behind him, and a brass plate with flowers, fruit and small bowls sits at his feet. Appearance-based label: a person, seated in person, with the ceremonial throne, garland and saffron attire as cues.
