A photograph of a man seated on a gold-and-red throne (peetha) decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands and red flower strings, with a golden trident standing to the left. The seated man has long dark hair swept back, wears a rust-brown dhoti-style garment, a gold necklace, a red flower mala draped over his shoulders and gold bangles, and smiles with eyes lowered. A second man in a white dhoti with a red-bordered shawl bends forward at the right, arranging the garland on the throne. Behind them are a red cushion, golden carved panels and a pile of orange silk cloth. The seated man has distinctive long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and a ceremonial throne setting, but the appearance is not clearly established, so identity is uncertain.
