A seated man in an ornate gold-brocaded sherwani with a red sash and red trousers, wearing a red and cream turban with a pearl drape and a red tilak on his forehead. He wears a heavy gold bead garland and sits on a gold-upholstered chair, one hand resting on his knee and the other on a silver staff topped with a bird figure. Behind him is a backdrop of garlands in red, yellow, purple and white flowers. The photo is from a pada-puja event on the archive page. The man's appearance is consistent with the a person cues (turban, ornate gold clothing, gold garland), but the image does not establish identity, so this is an uncertain candidate in a seated ceremonial role.
