Photograph taken from behind of a seated person on an ornate silver throne with embossed floral and scroll patterns. The person has very long black dreadlocked hair gathered at the crown and wrapped with a leopard-print cloth, and wears a rust-orange garment with dark beaded bracelets. A microphone stand is visible at right, and a brass vessel with turmeric or kumkum sits on a striped rug in the foreground. Night lighting and a red-and-white striped wall form the background. Appearance-based cues of long dreadlocks, a turban-style wrap and orange clothing on a throne are present, but the face is not visible, so identity remains uncertain.
