A photograph of a seated figure on a gilded throne with red cushioning and floral garlands, in a hall with a black drape behind. A man with long dark hair, a red-and-gold silk garment, red and gold beaded necklaces, bangles and a red bindi sits with hands resting, beside a large framed portrait of a smiling man with long hair, an orange turban-like headwear and orange saffron robe, labelled with partial text. To the left stands a golden vahana, a peacock-like animal figure, beneath a floral-decorated palanquin-style structure carrying a deity murti with a spear, decorated in red, yellow, green and purple marigold garlands. Two incomplete lines of text appear at the top right and bottom right of the frame.
