A photograph in a hall with a red and wooden throne. A seated figure in saffron robes and a saffron turban sits on an ornate red-cushioned throne flanked by carved golden lion sculptures, smiling and extending a hand toward visitors. A woman in a pink sari with a green and gold border stands with folded hands, facing a man in white dhoti and shawl with gold border who holds a folded paper. A man in a grey shirt stands behind them, and a person in white holds a plate of offerings at left. A wall-mounted clock, a lattice screen and a banner with a green emblem appear in the background, with flower petals on the floor in front. The seated figure has a saffron turban and saffron robes, which are the appearance cues for a person, but the page does not state he is present, so the identification is uncertain.
