A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a red tiger-striped cushion and a gilded lion-footed base. The seated man wears a white turban, long dark hair, a silver-grey embroidered kurta, a white garland of flowers with red blossoms, and a gold pendant. He is laughing broadly. A younger man in a white kurta leans in from the left, reaching toward him, and a child in red is partly visible at the lower left. The gold throne carries carved relief panels and a central deity figure. A red cloth backdrop and a small green-framed panel are behind them. The seated man has long swept-back hair, a turban and distinctive garland and ornaments, matching the page's a person cues, so the appearance is a person in person.
