A photograph of a man seated on a decorated palanquin or throne backed by a large canopy of yellow marigolds, red roses and white flowers, with green foliage and a sequined blue-and-green frame. He wears a gold crown, a red turban-like head covering with a crescent ornament, a multi-strand gold bead necklace, a white and green flower garland, gold bangles and rudraksha-style bracelets, and an orange-brown robe. A silver trident stands upright beside him, and a leopard-print cushion rests at his left. He is smiling broadly. No other people are visible.
