A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with lion-shaped armrests, backed by a large horseshoe-shaped arrangement of marigolds, roses and white flowers, with a decorated mandala-like panel behind. The seated person wears white and gold dhoti-style clothing, a gold necklace and long dark hair, and holds a small orange object in one hand. Beside the throne, a man in a saffron-orange robe with a shaved head and glasses extends a flat orange tray or plate toward the seated figure. Gold ritual vessels and flowers sit at the base of the throne, and a microphone stands at the right edge. Whether the seated figure is a person cannot be determined from appearance alone, so the identity is left unsure.
