A photograph of a seated figure on a golden throne under a maroon and gold umbrella, outdoors with greenery behind. The seated figure wears a maroon-red turban with a crescent and jewelled ornament, a pink and white flower garland, a long gold rudraksha-style necklace with a gold pendant, and gold bangles; he raises one hand in blessing. A standing priest in a white dhoti with an orange shawl and white body markings holds a silver plate of fruit, including bananas and apples. Another man with a white forehead mark sits behind them. The seated figure's identity is an appearance-based candidate of a person based on the turban, flowers, and gold ornaments.
