A photograph of a seated man on an ornate silver throne with lion-shaped armrests and a red cushion, wearing a black head covering with a white tilak, a leopard-print shawl over the shoulder, rudraksha malas and a gold chain, and rust-brown dhoti. Two people sit on the floor at either side: on the left a young person in white and yellow garments with white tilak and an orange-brown shawl, and on the right a young woman in an orange sari with a rudraksha mala. Behind them stand large painted statues of deities in red and green, and silver trident and staff-like ritual objects lean to the left. The seated man has distinctive ceremonial cues but his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance; he is presented as a seated figure receiving the two attendants.
