A photograph of a seated man in an orange-brown robe and gold necklace of bead-like ornaments, wearing a white-trimmed Santa hat with leopard-print trim, sits on a red velvet throne with ornate gold carvings. A young boy in a white t-shirt and dark shorts bows and kisses the man's hand. Behind them, a woman in an orange shawl and a man in red stand near a silver tray, with a few other people in the background of a room with plants and a speaker. The figure on the throne shows distinctive clothing and cues; the appearance-based label is a person as the seated central figure, with the boy and attendants as devotees.
