A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate carved wooden throne draped with white and pink garlands, wearing an orange turban, orange cloth and a beaded necklace with a flower garland. A kneeling man in white clothes, seen from behind, bows toward the throne near a brass vessel and a rising haze of incense smoke on the floor. A white-draped pillar with blue and gold tinsel stands at right, and a small table with brass items and a potted plant sits beside the throne. Lattice window at upper left. The seated figure's appearance is uncertain, so no identity is asserted.
