A photograph of a seated man on an ornate throne decorated with white jasmine garlands and multicolored flower strands, topped with a golden canopy. He wears a dark embroidered long coat with a black shawl, a gold necklace and a multi-colored garland, and has long dark hair with a red tilak. The throne rests on a gold footstool covered with red flowers and a red cushion. Behind him is a backdrop of painted devotee figures in folded-hands pose and a blue draped cloth. The setting is a stage and the figure's appearance is that of a person seated in the honoured position; the throne, garlands and long hair are the cues, with his role being that of the seated guest of honour.
