A photograph of a figure seated cross-legged on an ornate gilded golden throne with red cushions, hands pressed together in namaskar, wearing saffron-orange robes and a long orange mala around the neck. The throne is garlanded with red and white flowers and sits on a red stage. Behind is a decorated arch with a painted backdrop showing a seated deity pair with a crown and trident-like adornments, flanked by two smaller standing figures, set among pink and white lotus-petal shapes and green leaves. Striped orange, yellow and green floral decorations frame the set. Two white-draped side tables hold offerings. The seated figure's appearance matches several cues for a person, including long swept-back hair and saffron clothing with a mala, so this is a probable in-person candidate, though the face is not visible.
