A photograph of a seated man on an ornate silver throne under a multicoloured fringed canopy, in an open-sided pavilion with a corrugated roof. He wears a maroon turban, a dense gold necklace of ceremonial pendants, layered garlands of pink flowers, and a rust-brown robe. Two attendants in saffron-orange robes stand to the right, one with a rudraksha mala, and a third person in a teal garment is partly visible at the edge. The floor shows large white and purple kolam rangoli designs, with a decorative flag-like panel and a silver lamp stand beside the throne. The seated man has distinctive adornments and a ceremonial bearing, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so this is an unsure candidate.
