A photograph of an empty red upholstered throne with gold-trimmed arms set in a temple courtyard. Draped over the seat are orange and gold-bordered cloths, and a garland of yellow marigolds hangs across the backrest in front of a large framed portrait of a smiling man with long dark hair, wearing orange robes and a white bead necklace, seated with one hand raised. Below the throne a red shaggy mat with a small decorated pad sits on a striped rug. To the right a brass lamp bowl holds a flame, with an orange cloth wrapped around its stand. Behind is a stone platform with carved panels, a red-and-white pillar, and an orange drape. The portrait is a depiction, not a physical person in the scene, and no people are visible.
