A photograph of a seated person on an ornate gilded throne with a carved arched back and two golden lion-shaped armrest supports, the seat covered in red velvet with tiger-stripe patterning. The seated person wears a deep maroon turban with a jewelled brooch, a gold-bordered cream shawl over maroon robes, a long gold ceremonial necklace with a pendant, rudraksha-style beads, gold bangles and gold earrings, smiling and resting hands on the throne. Flanking the throne are painted figures of multi-armed deities holding a flame, a trident-like staff and other implements, in orange and gold. Dress colours and ornamentation suggest a person figure, presented in a ceremonial seated pose.
