A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, garlanded with yellow and purple flowers, under a large yellow fringed parasol. The seated person wears a white dhoti and white shawl, a cream turban, a multi-strand gold necklace and a gold armband; their face is covered by the turban and they are seated with hands resting. Flanking them are a gold lion-form seat at left and a gold mythical bird-form seat at right, both garlanded, with a garlanded deity murti at left and a garlanded figure at right under a multicoloured parasol. Behind the throne a large painted deity face in red and white and a red backdrop with Kannada script are visible. A pedestal fan stands at right and the floor is covered with a patterned rug. The seated figure's identity is not established from appearance alone; the ornate cues here are a throne, turban and gold jewellery, which are insufficient for a probable identification.
