A photograph of two men seated on ornate gold-carved thrones on a stage with a pale draped backdrop and a pedestal fan. The man on the left sits on a red-cushioned gold throne, wearing a rust-red turban with a small silver emblem, a gold chain necklace, gold armlets, and a rust-red cloth over bare shoulders; he has dark hair flowing down his back and a smile. Beside him on the right, a bearded man in saffron-orange robes with hair tied in a topknot and a white earpiece rests his chin on his hand while looking to the side, seated on a gold-framed chair with lion-head ornaments. The left figure matches the a person appearance cues of long swept hair, a turban and gold ornaments, so he is presented as a person seated on his throne; the man on the right appears to be a sannyasi in saffron. Two physical people are visible.
