A photograph of a seated figure on a golden throne-like seat being showered with pink rose petals from above. The throne is framed by garlands of white jasmine and red and orange flowers with green leaves. Two rounded golden cushions rest on either side of the seat. A woman in a white sari with a red and gold border stands at the right edge, and a hand of another attendant appears at the left. Heavy flower shower suggests honouring of the seated figure, but the seated person's face and clothing are largely hidden by the petals, so the appearance is uncertain.
