A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate silver throne before a large golden-and-jewelled arch decorated with yellow and red marigold garlands. The central seated figure has long matted dreadlocks, wears a reddish-orange robe, a heavy gold pendant and a large multicolour floral garland, and holds an orange fruit. A man in olive-and-brown camouflage uniform kneels barefoot before the throne with head bowed. To the left, a man in a black shirt stands watching, and a bare-chested man with dreadlocks and a white forehead mark holds an orange fruit beside the throne. A leopard-print cushion rests at the right. Appearance-based, this seated figure is a person (wearing dreadlocks, a saffron robe, a gold necklace and garlands on a throne), but the identification is uncertain.
