Photograph of a seated figure on an ornate white and silver throne decorated with jewel-like studs, peacock motifs and a tiered gold canopy, framed by yellow, orange and purple marigold garlands. The central figure wears a tall gold crown, gold necklaces, a red and gold garment and a red bindi, smiling with palms pressed together in greeting. Three people sit with their backs to the camera in the foreground: a woman in a cream embroidered top, a woman with hair in a bun in cream attire, and a man in a white shirt. A grey cloth covers the platform edge. The figure has distinctive long adornments and a crown but the appearance is not conclusive, so identity remains uncertain; the role is a seated figure receiving devotees in a satsang setting.
