A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with elaborate repoussé carvings, wearing a tall gold crown with a green stone, a red-brown robe, layered gold necklaces and gold bangles. He wears a white and pink flower garland around his neck, has a red bindi on his forehead, and raises one hand in a blessing gesture while smiling. A golden trident (trishul) stands at left, a golden lion-head ornament sits near his feet on the right, and a silver peacock-shaped stand appears at the far right beside red velvet cushions and a dark red curtain. The setting suggests a ceremonial throne presentation.
