Close-up photograph of a bearded man seated before an ornate gold throne carved with floral scrollwork and a gilded figure on the left. He wears a white horizontal forehead mark, a gold and jewelled headpiece with tassel, and his long dark hair is swept back. Layered rudraksha malas, a gold necklace of coins and pearls, and a gold pendant with a deity figure adorn his bare chest. He raises one hand in a blessing gesture and holds a thin rod in the other.
