A photograph of a standing man in orange robes with his hair tied in a bun, beside a seated figure in red-orange robes on an ornate gold throne with a red-and-black tiger-stripe cushion. The seated figure has a white tripundra and red bindi, raises one hand in blessing and appears to be a lifelike statue or wax figure rather than a living person. The standing man, shown from the shoulders to the feet, is the only physical person here. A printed photograph on the wall at upper right shows a figure in red robes. The room has white walls and a dark doorway.
