Photo of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet back, wearing an orange saffron robe and a long gold necklace with a bead mala, hands folded in his lap, with a gold parasol above. Two gold lamp stands with flames flank the throne. Below the dais, four people in white dhotis and saris sit on an orange cloth performing a ritual, one man in white dhoti and glasses and a woman in a yellow-bordered sari with a blue blouse, plus a man in a white shirt among them. A backdrop shows a painted temple scene with a red-clad deity figure garlanded with yellow flowers. A small monitor sits at the left edge. The seated man's appearance matches the orange robe and gold necklace cues of the page's a person, so he is described as a person seated on the throne.
