A photograph of a smiling person with long dark hair, wearing a red-and-green flower garland, a heavy gold necklace of beads and a dark red-brown garment, seated before a large arch of yellow, purple and white marigold flowers. A kneeling woman in white with a grey hair bun bows and touches the seated person's hand, while a man in a striped white shirt stands at left with his back to the camera. A sword rests against the flowers at right, and a red and orange cloth is draped over a golden seat. The scene suggests a darshan or honouring ceremony at a temple setting. The seated person has long hair, a crown-less head and adornments consistent with the a person description, but appearance alone is not enough to confirm identity, so the role is given as honoured person.
