A seated man in a rust-red robe sits on an ornate silver throne encrusted with jewel-coloured stones and a tiger-striped cushion, wearing pink and white flower garlands, gold necklaces and gold armlets. He holds his hands over a small flame in a lamp, with a wisp of smoke rising. A tilak is painted on his forehead and a hand from the side reaches into the frame. Decorated throne and lamp suggest a ceremonial setting. a person: the seated man has long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklaces and a saffron-toned robe, so he is a probable candidate, but the cues are not distinctive enough for certainty, and the caption attributes him to the event.
