A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet cushion, in front of a dark stone-panelled wall and a golden arched backrest. The seated man wears a saffron-yellow dhoti and shawl, a pale yellow turban with a jewelled ornament, a long multicolour flower garland, a rudraksha mala and gold necklaces, and gold armlets and bangles. He raises one hand in a blessing gesture and smiles. In the foreground left, a standing attendant in orange robes with a maroon-edged shawl holds a ritual item. Flowers sit at the base of the throne, and brass oil lamps hang from the top of the frame, with a gold peacock-shaped ornament on the left wall. Two people are visible.
