Photograph of a man in a rust-orange robe with a purple flower garland and white-and-orange beaded garlands seated on a red-cushioned golden throne with carved gilt backrest, smiling and extending his hand toward a man in white with an orange shawl who leans in holding a small red booklet. Behind them a gold-and-brass figure of a lion stands beside a striped tiger-skin cover. Several other people in white garments crowd the frame, one with glasses, and a camera on a tripod is visible at top left. The seated figure's appearance matches the a person candidate: long swept-back hair, saffron-orange robe, and rudraksha-style garland cues, presented on a throne.
