A photograph of a seated figure viewed from behind on a red velvet throne, with a golden carved lion-form armrest in the foreground. The figure wears an orange-brown turban, an orange-red beaded necklace, and a dark brown wrap over bare shoulders, with gold earrings visible. Ornate silver ceremonial staffs with spear-like finials stand at left, and a gold-framed structure behind holds a decorated deity murti draped in red, yellow and purple garlands. Marigold garlands hang at right beside a decorated canopy. The shawl and turban and beaded necklace are visible cues, but the figure is not clearly identifiable, so presence is uncertain. Watermarked archive-style image.
