A bearded man in a rust-brown robe sits on an ornate gold throne carved with lion heads and serpentine scrollwork, cushioned with leopard-print pads and draped with a tiger-stripe cloth. He wears a pink and white flower garland and a small red forehead mark, his right hand raised in a gesture while his left arm rests on the armrest. A golden trident stands beside the throne, and behind it a decorative panel of marigold and bead work frames the stage. The photo is taken on a ceremonial stage. a person is seated, identified by the throne, trident and robe cues as a person, seated in a position of honour.
