Photograph of a golden-throned stage hall with red velvet drapes and hanging brass bells. A bearded man in a rust-orange robe sits cross-legged on a gold-and-red cushioned throne-seat, holding a small object, with a gold trident (trishul) standing beside him. Behind him are several elaborately carved gold thrones: one holds a seated figure in orange and gold with a crown and ornate necklaces, another a seated figure with a gold crown and garlands, and a third a deity murti. On the left a gold horse-drawn chariot figure appears, and on the right a gold bird-shaped seat supports a figure in a blue shawl. Striped woven mats cover the floor. The bearded man matches the appearance cues of a person seated on the central throne, with saffron clothing and rudraksha beads visible.
