A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with lion-head armrests and a tiger-striped cushion, inside a dark temple-like hall with hanging brass bells and brass oil lamps. The seated person wears a rust-orange and saffron-bordered cloth draped over the body, a long beaded garland with gold ornaments, and a gold pendant, with the chest bare, and is smiling and gazing to one side. A shaved-headed priest in white clothing with a sacred thread and forehead markings sits with folded hands at the right, and tiered brass trays holding small lamps, red flowers and offerings lie in the foreground. A candidate matching the a person appearance cues is present: a long swept-back hairstyle, ceremonial gold necklaces and a rust-orange cloth, though the face is not used for identification. Visible people are the seated figure, the priest and partially visible people at the lower edge.
