A photograph of a single person seated cross-legged on an ornate gilded throne with dark maroon velvet cushions and carved golden lion-head armrests, draped with a striped tiger-skin cloth. The person wears an orange-saffron cloth wrap, a long rust-red beaded rudraksha-style mala, a heavy ceremonial gold bead necklace, gold bangles, a small red bindi, and small gold earrings, with dark swept-back hair, smiling and looking to the side. Behind the throne are a gold-patterned backdrop, a green and orange draped curtain, and a grey wall. Appearance-based cues are consistent with a person candidate, but the identification is uncertain from appearance alone.
