A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate red velvet throne with gold lion-head armrests, wearing a long floral garland of red and yellow flowers, a gold chain and gold armbands, with a large tiger-stripe patterned cloth draped on the upper body and dark swept-back hair. A man in white kurta with an orange shawl kneels on a yellow shaggy rug before the throne, hands reaching toward the seated figure's feet, in what appears to be a padapuja. Behind, another person in white with an orange-trimmed garment stands, and a third figure in white kneels or sits in the dark background. Gold ornamental objects and a gold lion sculpture appear beside the throne. The figure on the throne has distinctive long hair and adornments but the appearance is not clearly established enough to confirm identity.
