A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a carved golden canopy, flanked by carved lion figures and a trident on the left. The seated man wears a rust-brown robe, a pink and white flower garland, heavy gold necklaces and a red tilak on his forehead, and raises one hand in greeting. Two young men in saffron-orange cloth sit cross-legged on the platform in front, one wearing a rudraksha-style bead necklace and white markings on his arms and face. A leopard-print cushion and a silk cloth lie on the throne, and a copper-coloured vessel with jewellery and a green leaf decoration stands at the left edge. The scene appears to be a ceremonial gathering in a hall with dark red curtains behind. a person is not indicated for this event, so the seated figure is described by role only.
