Close-up photo of a smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead, seated on an ornate gold throne with carved scrollwork and gold beaded trim. He wears an orange-saffron shawl and is draped with garlands of red roses and white flowers. Behind the throne are a pink curtain and gold decorative finials. The face is turned to his left, eyes looking off-frame. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated in person on the throne as the honoured figure in the garlanded setting.
