A photograph of a person seated on an ornate golden throne (peetha) with a large arched backrest covered in a garland of red, orange, yellow, white and purple flowers. The seated figure wears a rust-orange turban with a small emblem, saffron-orange robes, layered gold and beaded necklaces, a rudraksha-style mala with a red-and-yellow flower garland draped over the shoulder, and gold bangles, and raises one hand while speaking. Golden lion-head armrests, a golden kalasha-like finial, a golden carved backdrop and a tiger-skin cushion surround the throne. A small ceremonial scepter rests at the left. The seated person has long hair and distinctive ceremonial adornments, consistent with the page's a person reference; the appearance is a probable match. A watermarked-free ceremonial stage setting dominates the frame.
