A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne inside a richly decorated hall with pink and yellow painted borders, a dark backdrop lit with small lamps, and brass oil lamps hanging on chains. The seated person wears a rust-orange robe, a long gold-beaded mala necklace and a dark bindi, with hands resting in the lap and a tiger-striped cloth draped on the seat. A kneeling attendant in orange robes and white horizontal marks on the arms tends a flame on a tray at the left. A patterned red carpet lies at the base of the throne. The throne is an appearance-based a person candidate with a mala and orange robe, though the face is small and the figure is partly obscured by shadow.
