Photograph of a seated man on an ornate golden throne (peetha) framed by a large golden arch with carved figures and a golden crown-like finial. He wears a rust-orange turban, an orange-saffron robe, a gold-toned ceremonial necklace and bangles, and is garlanded with a multicoloured floral garland of red, yellow, purple and white flowers. Golden lion sculptures flank the throne, and a golden umbrella hangs above. The man is smiling broadly with an open mouth. Lacking clear distinguishing cues beyond the throne and ceremonial setting, the identity of the seated figure is uncertain; the page associates the scene with a person, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm it. Hindu ritual ornamentation and throne setting are visible.
