Photo of a seated group on a stage with an ornate gold-and-red throne at the centre. A man on the throne wears a red-and-maroon turban, a long beaded white floral garland, a gold necklace and gold bangles, and sits smiling with his hands resting on the armrests. Beside him on the right, a bearded man in orange robes sits on a gold chair. Further left, several bearded men in orange and saffron robes sit on gold-trimmed chairs, one holding a long gold staff with a finial, others with hands folded. A red patterned rug covers the floor, with a small wicker side table holding a box, and a cushion on the carpet. The backdrop is a deep red curtain with a starry blue panel behind.
