A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with a large floral backdrop of red, orange, yellow, purple and white flower garlands shaped like a heart arch. The seated figure wears a golden crown, an orange-gold garment, layered beaded necklaces and a rudraksha-style mala, and holds a ceremonial staff with a silver top. Golden lion and dragon-like carvings flank the throne and a golden arch above shows sculpted figures. Around the throne, devotees in white shirts, a white sari and an orange shawl stand with hands folded, and brass oil lamps sit on the floor in the foreground. The seated figure's identity is an appearance-based candidate: a person, seated on the throne as the central figure.
