A photograph of a seated figure on a golden throne carved with elephant heads and floral scrollwork, set in a courtyard with palm trees. The person wears a red-orange turban, an orange-red robe, and multiple garlands of yellow marigolds with green leaves and pink flower accents. Pink flower petals are scattered on the wooden platform. In the foreground stands a polished brass oil lamp with a bird-shaped top, and a brass pot sits beside it. The figure has a tilao on the forehead and a hand raised in blessing. Appearance cues include the turban and saffron-toned robe, but the identity is uncertain from appearance alone, so the figure is described by role as a seated devotee-recipient of honours.
