A seated man sits cross-legged with eyes closed on a zebra-striped cushioned throne ringed by a garland arch of yellow, purple and magenta flowers. He wears a cream turban, a cream embroidered kurta and white trousers, with long red and white flower garlands draped across his chest and a further garland lying in his lap. His hands are clasped in front of him. Strands of white jasmine and orange flowers decorate the base of the seat, and red curtains hang behind. A printed copyright overlay runs down the right edge of the image. The man's appearance does not clearly match a recognisable candidate and no caption names him, so the identity is uncertain; he is described by role as a seated devotee on a decorated throne.
