A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with lion-shaped armrests, backed by a large arrangement of multicoloured flower garlands in pink, white, yellow, purple and green. The central figure wears a rust-orange robe with a cream lower garment, a long rudraksha mala with gold ornaments, a gold armband and bracelets, and a sandalwood-marked forehead; long swept-back hair frames the face. Brass oil lamps with lit flames stand beside the throne and hanging brass bells hang from chains above. A second seated figure in a red turban and orange robe sits on a similar golden throne behind, with a golden lion sculpture in the foreground and offering plates of flowers and fruit at the bottom right. The visible cues match the a person candidate's presentation; the page names him as present.
