A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a carved gold back and lion-headed armrests, draped with a leopard-print cushion and a tiger skin at its base. He wears a rust-red robe, a gold pendant, a gold chain and a long pink-and-white flower garland, with eyes closed in meditation and hands resting on his lap. Two large painted deity statues flank the throne, one holding a flame lamp, and brass bells and oil lamps hang above. At the bottom, a bare-chested man in a sacred thread and a woman in orange clothing sit with their backs to the camera, facing the throne in devotion. The seated man has long swept-back hair and ornate gold adornments, but the appearance is not enough to confirm an identity.
