A photograph of a figure seated on an ornate gilded throne (peetha) with carved lion arms, decorated with garlands of white jasmine, yellow and orange marigolds, and red flowers, beneath a gold canopy with hanging white flower strings. The seated person wears a turquoise kurta with a tan shawl and a red bindi, and is smiling with hands raised in a gesture while speaking. Red and green draped fabric and floral arrangements frame the stage. The appearance matches the appearance-based candidate for a person through the long swept hair, ceremonial gold-and-garland throne setting and distinctive clothing cues, seated in a discourse setting. No other people are visible.
