A photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate gold throne with a large gilded backrest, decorated with garlands of white jasmine and red, yellow and purple flowers. He wears a purple headcloth, a pale peach sleeveless top and draped peach shawl, a yellow silk dhoti with a brown waist sash, layered gold and red-stone necklaces, and gold bangles. His eyes are closed and he rests his arms on the throne's armrests, bare feet on a red cushion. Behind the throne hang pink and red draped fabrics and a golden canopy.
