A photograph of a bearded man seated in profile on an ornate gold throne with a deep red cushion, wearing a brown turban with a small golden ornament, a brown wrap over bare shoulders, a pink and white flower garland with gold beads, and a gold armlet. Beside him at left stands a black stone shivalinga-style murti draped in white and yellow flower garlands, and a pole and metal frame sit in the background against dark green foliage. A blurred head is visible at the bottom edge. The man's appearance, with long swept-back hair, a turban, distinctive ornate adornments and the throne, gives a person candidate in a seated ceremonial role, appearance-based and uncertain.

A man seated in profile on an ornate gold throne with a deep maroon cushion. He wears a thick brown turban with a small ornament at the front, a brown dhoti-style wrap over bare shoulders, a beard and moustache, and long layered garlands of pink flowers and rudraksha beads with gold ceremonial necklaces. Behind him a blurred temple setting shows gold pillars and a deity murti decorated with flower garlands, and a seated audience is softly out of focus in the lower right.

He wears a bare chest with a brown shawl, multiple strands of pink and white flower garlands, gold bangles and a gold necklace. Behind him stands a dark stone deity murti draped in yellow and white flower garlands, flanked by brass ritual lamps and a brass kalasha on the left, in a temple-style hall.
