A photograph of a seated man on a gold-framed swing-throne in a temple-style hall. He wears a red-orange robe, a heavy gold necklace of layered beads, gold armbands and a dark headdress with a gold band, and sits cross-legged with hands folded. A tiger-skin cushion lies behind him. Opposite him, a tall gold pillar wrapped with white flower garlands supports a swing hung with a saffron cloth and bundled white sacks of rice labelled Supreme Petrochem. Gold trident-topped and kalasha-style lamp stands and a red carpet frame the scene; a second man in white stands at the right edge. This appears to be a Tulabharam offering, where devotees weigh a person against goods donated to charity. a person appearance uncertain; the seated man's presentation has some cues but is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm.
