A seated figure in a golden throne decorated with flower garlands in red, yellow, purple and white, with a carved gold lion-like front support. The person wears a rust-orange dhoti-style garment with a leopard-print top, a coral and white flower garland, a red-brown beaded necklace and gold jewellery, with a white forehead mark. Hands are raised in a greeting gesture and the person smiles. In front are silver and brass trays holding fruit, red flowers, coconut-like offerings and small lamps, and a brass oil lamp stands to the right beside a bell hanging from above. A zebra-striped cloth covers the seat. The setting is a dark room, and the photo carries an archive copyright credit at the lower right.
