A bearded man with long dark dreadlocks sits cross-legged with eyes closed and a broad smile on a gilded throne with ornate golden carvings and leopard-print cushions. He wears a rust-red shawl over his bare shoulders, a white tripundra with a red bindi on his forehead, and holds a black twisted metal staff with a forked top, with a red thread on his wrist. A depiction of a person appears in this photograph given the long dreadlocks, ornate golden throne and saffron-toned ascetic garb. Watermarked copyright text overlays the lower right corner in the original photo.
