A photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate gilded throne decorated with a garland arch of marigolds and roses in purple, yellow, red, green and white, flanked by gold lion-form armrests. He wears a gold crown, an orange silk dhoti and wrap, a wide gold collar necklace with red stone beads and a rudraksha-style mala, gold armbands and bangles, and holds a silver trident in his left hand. A dark red velvet backdrop surrounds the throne. A dark wall of garlands and gold ornamentation frames the scene. A large gold stool stands before the throne. Appearance suggests a person seated in ceremonial regalia, with the throne, crown, trident and orange attire serving as the main cues; the figure is seated on the throne and is shown as a central ceremonial figure.
