Large white and gold decorative arches frame the stage. The seated person has long hair, white robes and a gold necklace, a distinctive appearance, but the identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.

A photograph of a seated figure with long dark hair, hands pressed together in namaste, sitting on a red cushion before an ornate gilded golden throne with a golden umbrella overhead.
