Photograph of a stage event in a tent: a seated figure on a gold throne with lion armrests and a red cushioned seat, wearing a red-orange crown or head covering, orange garments, and a large orange marigold garland. Before him stand several people: a man in an orange robe at left, a man in white kurta and dhoti holding a wooden tray, and a man in a reddish-brown dhoti and shawl pouring or presenting something from a yellow bag. Young boys in orange robes stand at left. Behind the throne is a large pink lotus backdrop with a golden crescent and moon motif. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's described honoured guest, but a clear, distinctive identification is not established from appearance alone.
