A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne (simhasana) with a carved golden arch and lion-like side figures. He wears a deep red turban, red robes draped over his shoulders, multiple gold necklaces, gold armbands and a red tilak mark, and sits cross-legged with hands folded in his lap. Flanking the throne are tall brass oil lamps (deepa) topped with rooster finials, and a gilded dais with red velvet cushioning lies in front. The backdrop is a large painted image showing a deity figure in orange garments on the left and a figure with a raised arm and decorated bangles on the right, set against a golden landscape. Watermarked archive photo of a formal seated darshan setting. The seated man has a distinctive ceremonial presentation, so this is a person appearance in person.
