A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gilded throne decorated with garlands of marigolds, jasmine and purple flowers in rows behind him. He wears a magenta pleated turban with a small jewelled brooch, a heavily embroidered lavender and silver-thread sherwani with a long coat, and a magenta sash draped across the chest over a gold chain with a gold pendant. Below the coat he wears red silk trousers with gold-embroidered borders, and his bare feet rest on a golden footstool. He holds a silver staff topped with a bird figure in his right hand and rests his left hand on the armrest. A single seated figure is visible, with no other people in the frame.
