A photograph of a seated man speaking into a microphone at a ceremonial event. He wears a rust-brown turban with a jewelled centre, a long ornate gold necklace with a large pendant, layered beaded and gold garlands, and rust-coloured robes with a leopard-print cushion beneath him. He raises both open palms in an expressive gesture. Behind him is a large heart-shaped golden throne backdrop decorated with embroidered patterns, red, green, navy and orange panels, and rows of gemstone-like studs. A golden trident is visible at the upper left and a gold lion-shaped figure at the lower right. Only one physical person is visible. Whether he is a person is an appearance-based judgement: the turban, ornate gold ornaments and ceremonial setting are consistent with a person candidate, but the face and framing are only partly clear, so identity is uncertain.
