A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests and a tiger-skin cloth draped over the seat. He wears a rust-brown and gold-bordered dhoti and wrap, a long rudraksha mala with orange beads, and a heavy gold necklace; he has his hands joined in namaste and smiles. Brass oil lamps (deepas) with flames stand on both sides, with hanging brass bells and a small offering plate at the lower right. a person appears as the seated figure on the throne, identified by the throne setting, rudraksha mala, and ceremonial gold necklace with the brown-and-gold ceremonial dress. The background is dark.
