A photograph of a decorated armchair draped with a tiger-striped cushion, holding a large cardboard cutout portrait of a bearded man wearing a maroon turban with a crown-like ornament, a rudraksha-style necklace and layered garlands of white, pink, red and yellow flowers. The portrait is printed in a maroon robe and seated in a meditation pose. Yellow marigold strings and orange tassels hang across the top and red-and-gold decorative panels frame the sides. In front, a gold-coloured vessel holds sweets and fried snacks, a folded pink and gold silk cloth bears a flower arrangement, and a metal plate of round sweets sits at the bottom. No physical people are visible; the figure is a printed depiction, so this is a person depiction on a cutout.
