A photograph of a seated man on an ornate golden peacock-backed throne, wearing a deep maroon turban with a jade-green feather ornament and a crescent pin, a maroon shawl, layered gold necklaces including a large pendant, and gold bangles. He smiles with eyes lowered while a shirtless priest in a pink head cloth raises a bundle of green leaves above his head, as if performing a blessing ritual. A silver vessel sits in the foreground beside a microphone stand, with a lit oil lamp and bright orange-red cloth in the background.
