Photograph of a bearded man seated on an ornate throne-like seat in front of a richly embroidered gold, yellow and blue cloth backdrop with white pearl strands and mirror-work. He wears a maroon-red turban with a green-stone brooch, a red-orange cloth draped over bare shoulders, long gold beaded necklaces, a gold bracelet and armlets, and garlands of pink and white flowers. He smiles broadly, eyes partly closed, raising one hand in a mudra-like gesture while speaking to an audience. A forehead tilak is visible. Gold ornate objects and a red drape frame the scene.
