A seated monk in saffron-orange robes with a shaved head sits cross-legged on a red patterned rug beside an empty ornate golden throne. The throne has red velvet cushions, carved gold lions on its arms and a tiger-striped cloth draped across the seat. Behind it hangs a large red banner with a portrait of a smiling man wearing an orange turban and orange robes, placed on a printed photo stand on the throne, plus a second portrait in a red turban and garland. A small brass lamp sits near the monk. The monk is the only physical person present; the throne and portraits are not occupied by anyone visible.
