Two people stand in front of an ornately carved gold wooden throne backdrop with red drapery and red-cushioned gilded chairs on a red and yellow patterned rug. A woman on the left wears a white embroidered long dress with a silver-trimmed bodice, a gold chain necklace and a jewelled tiara. A man on the right wears an all-white embroidered ceremonial outfit with gold patterns, a tall gold crown, a gold sash with green and gold trim, and a ceremonial kris-style dagger at his waist. No printed names or captions are visible, and no a person candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance.2023-01-14A man stands on a marble staircase beside an ornate gold-and-wood curved balustrade. He wears a tall gold embroidered crown, a white long coat with gold embroidery and a teal-and-gold sash with gold fringe, white trousers, black shoes, and several medals and a gold brooch on his chest. He holds a gold-trimmed ceremonial item at his side.

He wears an elaborate gold crown with jewelled detailing, a red brocade long coat with gold floral patterns, a cream dhoti-style lower garment and a cream shawl draped over one shoulder with beaded tassels. Multiple gold necklaces and a pendant with a central figure hang on his chest, and rings adorn his fingers.

He wears a white turban with a fan-shaped ornament, a red ornate sherwani-style coat with gold embroidery, white dhoti-style trousers, a gold pendant necklace and a beige shawl draped over his shoulders and arms. A large multi-coloured garland with white flowers and pink-centred blossoms hangs to his knees, and a floral offering sits at his feet. A small red bindi marks his forehead. Behind him hang dark maroon curtains. The page identifies this as Swamiji, and the appearance cues of long hair, ornate gold-trimmed clothing and a shawl are consistent with that label. Lion-shaped gold armrests and a silver ceremonial staff flank the throne.
