A photograph of a seated man on an ornate silver throne draped in red, gold and multicoloured tassel-decorated canopy swags, with peacock feather ornaments above. He wears a rust-orange dhoti-style garment, a long gold necklace, a pink and white flower garland, rudraksha-style beads, gold armlets and bangles, and has a forehead tilak and a short beard. His right hand rests on the armrest while a crowd of people in the foreground, some with coloured powder on their clothes, look up toward him. Gold leaf decorations and a silver-framed structure surround the throne on a festival float or chariot. Brightly coloured powder is visible on the crowd, consistent with a Holi celebration. Appearance-based label: a person seated on the throne, identified by his distinctive ceremonial adornments and garland.
