A photograph of a man seated in profile on an ornate gold throne with a carved lion-head armrest and a tiger-striped cushion. He wears a brown and gold-bordered dhoti-style garment, bare-shouldered with a gold armlet, a gold necklace and a white jasmine garland with red rose accents. He has white forehead markings, a red bindi, and his hair is tied back. A pink flower bunch rests on his lap. Hanging brass oil lamps with lit wicks flank the throne, and gold-carved panels decorate the backdrop. Visually this shows a seated figure being honoured in a temple-style setting; appearance cues are consistent with a person but the face is not used for identification.
