A photograph of a ceremonial stage with a red velvet curtain backdrop. A seated man in a red-orange turban, orange-brown robe and multiple beaded garlands sits on an ornate gold throne heavily decorated with multicoloured flower garlands and gold lion-head armrests. Beside him stands a second, empty gold throne draped with garlands, a golden peacock-style base and a tall brass oil lamp in front. Shallow brass lamps and a red carpet lie on the floor, with potted green plants in the foreground. The seated man is in his role as the honoured guest on the throne; the appearance is not clearly identifiable enough to confirm a specific person.
