A close view of an ornate gold repoussé throne back, its arched frame embossed with leafy scrolls, beaded rims and a central motif, set against a bright red velvet cushion. The arch is draped with garlands of red roses, green leaves, yellow marigolds and purple flowers. No people are visible; the throne is empty. A stone pillar and dark wall sit behind the arch.

An empty ornate golden throne (peetha) stands centred on a red carpet in a decorated hall. The high gilded backrest is carved with floral scrollwork and a central medallion, topped by a gold crown finial and a golden canopy with a finial above. Two gilded lion heads flank the red zebra-striped seat cushion. A gilded footstool sits before it. The throne is framed by red and gold drapes and arrangements of pink gerberas, yellow marigolds, orchids, white daisies and red anthuriums. A microphone stand stands beside the throne, and a wooden staff leans against its left side. No people are visible in the frame.

An empty ornate gold throne with a red velvet seat and cushions stands centrally in a decorated hall, under a gold fringed umbrella canopy. Behind it, garlands of marigolds and red flowers frame two deity murtis, one seated on the throne backdrop and one on a gold palanquin-style stand at right. Gold lion-form supports, a gold peacock-shaped stand at left, and a floral-garlanded silver deity figure at right surround the throne, with a red carpet and trays of offerings in front. A painted temple gopuram backdrop completes the setting. No people are visible.

A photograph of an empty ornate gold throne with a red velvet seat and backrest, surrounded by a garland of yellow marigolds and purple flowers. Red bolster cushions and a dark maroon pillow rest on the seat, with a gold scepter-like object lying across the seat. Fruit, including apples and bananas, sits on a tray on a gold-edged side table at left, and a small plate of offerings is on the right. In the background at right, a figure in red and white clothing with a garland stands beside a brass lamp stand, with an orange curtain at left and a carved stone wall behind. No people are seated on the throne; the figure at right is a statue or image, not a physical person.

An empty ornate golden throne (peetha) with a red velvet seat and backrest stands on a raised stage, centred before a backdrop of gold and orange drapes and white fabric.

An empty ornate golden throne (peetha) with a red tiger-striped velvet seat and backrest, two white-and-red cushions, and carved golden lion figures flanking the base. A golden tree with branches rises above a gilded arched backrest decorated with a central medallion, garlands of yellow, orange and purple flowers draped along its arch. The throne sits on a red velvet covered platform against a blue brick-patterned wall. No people are visible.

A decorated empty throne, or peetha, stands before a large dark black stone structure with a tiered white and red-striped stepped backdrop and water. The gilded golden back of the chair has intricate embossed floral relief work and the seat is upholstered in red fabric. Garlands of white jasmine, orange marigold and red roses with green leaves frame the chair, and a canopy of orange and white flowers hangs overhead above the seat. No person is seated or present in the frame, so this depicts the chair alone rather than an individual.
