A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a golden lion-head armrest, leopard-print cushions and a gilded carved backrest. The seated man wears a tall black upswept hairstyle, white forehead markings with a red bindi, a red-saffron robe, a gold pendant, a gold chain and a multicoloured pink, blue and white flower garland, and holds a silver bell in his right hand. Beside him, a younger man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, with rudraksha malas around his neck and wrists, leans forward attentively. The scene appears to be a stage or ceremonial setting.
