A photograph of a gilded throne with red velvet seat, draped in white and yellow-and-purple marigold garlands, set against a painted backdrop of leafy trees with red fruit. A man in a cream turban, a long brown-red kurta and green lower garment stands at the throne, smiling and reaching to take a white box from a man in a brown checked kurta and dark trousers who bows toward him. A third person in an orange robe with red border stands at the right edge. A gold-carved pedestal stands beside the throne, and a small red cushion sits on a gilded stool at its base. The man in the turban has long swept hair and a gold chain, a distinctive adornment; the appearance cues are partial, so identity is uncertain and he is described only by role.
