A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a crown-like finial, draped in marigold and multicolored flower garlands, with a golden footstool in front. The seated figure has long dark hair, wears an orange saffron robe and a long gold bead necklace, and is being touched on the shoulder by a kneeling man in a white dhoti and white shirt with a maroon border, who bows with his head near the seated figure's hand. Behind the throne stand a golden trident and a decorated staff against a red-orange banner with large lettering reading Dasara. Another person in orange robes sits at the left edge. The appearance of the seated figure is consistent with the candidate a person, seated in a role of receiving honour at a Dasara celebration; the identification is uncertain.
