A photograph of a seated man on an ornate silver throne under a canopy with red and gold fringed valance decorated with bird emblems. He wears a maroon-red turban, a red-brown robe, a heavy gold necklace, layered gold chains and a pink-and-white flower garland. Bangles adorn his arms. Before him on the ground is a large multicoloured rangoli kolam of pink, green, yellow and blue petals around a white star motif. Striped woven mats cover the platform. A figure in orange robes stands at the left edge, and a silver stand with a copper-coloured vessel sits to the right. Whether this seated man is the a person cannot be confirmed from appearance, so his identity is treated as uncertain.
