A photograph inside a temple-style hall with white walls and framed gold-and-colour painted panels behind. A seated figure sits on an ornate gold throne carved with a multi-headed serpent hood and lion-form armrests, with a leopard-print cushion. The seated person wears a rust-orange turban and orange-saffron robes with a dark shawl draped over the shoulders. Before him a man in a white shirt and dark trousers bends forward, bowing or touching the feet, and a gold bull figure stands on a gold-covered table in the foreground. To the left a younger man in orange robes with a garland stands near a trident. The seated figure's appearance shows a turban, saffron robes and ornate throne, which are cues for a person, but the face and build are not clear enough for a firm match, so this is an uncertain candidate.
