A photograph on a red-carpeted stage in front of deep red velvet drapes. A seated figure on an ornate brown leather throne chair with a gold-carved backrest and a golden lion statue beside it wears an orange-red turban with a small brooch, a dark red sleeveless top, a leopard-print wrap and an orange-gold dhoti border, with bangles on the wrist. The seated figure's face is partly turned and the figure is smiling, and is reached toward by a man kneeling on the red carpet in a white kurta and white trousers, who clasps the seated figure's hand in padapuja-style respect. An orange cloth rests on the chair arm and a small footstool sits in front of the throne.
