A photo of a seated saffron-robed figure on an ornate silver-framed throne with leopard-print cushions, wearing a large gold necklace and rudraksha malas, holding a white flower and a small packet in hand. Two attendants in orange-brown robes sit at left, one holding a silver bowl of red petals and a small silver vessel, the other with a rudraksha mala and white forehead markings. The scene is set in an open pavilion with orange walls, a potted plant and a gold-trimmed chariot or palanquin at right. Whether the seated figure is a person cannot be determined from the image alone.
