A man seated on an ornate gold throne draped with a leopard-print and tiger-striped cloth, wearing a gold crown, a pink and white flower garland, and a rust-red dhoti-style garment, with bare feet. He smiles toward a small group of women seated on the floor at left, one in a white sari with a rudraksha mala, another in white with gold jewelry. Silver plates hold flowers and offerings on a low golden table in the foreground, and a silver standing staff with a white cord stands beside the throne. Brass oil lamps and bells hang from the ceiling above, and a video camera on a tripod is at left. The setting is a dark room with string lights. The man has long swept-back hair and a crown, but the visible cues are limited to crown, garland and throne, so the identity is uncertain.
