A photograph of a robed figure standing barefoot on a gold-edged dais in front of an elaborate jewelled throne backdrop shaped like a cobra hood, studded with coloured gems and bordered by yellow and red flower garlands. The figure wears a rust-red turban, a rust-red draped robe and a long necklace of brown beads with a large gold pendant, and stands with palms pressed together in namaste, eyes lowered. Two gilded lion figures flank the seat, which is covered in leopard-print cushions, and a red-handled ceremonial fan or chowrie rests at the left edge. A small faint logo appears in the upper left corner. The figure is a plausible candidate for a person by his turban, robes and ornate seat, though the face is obscured by the gesture, so the identification is uncertain.
