A photograph of a man seated on an ornate golden throne with a carved lion-face armrest and a gilded backrest, draped over a striped tiger-skin cushion. He wears a rust-red robe with an orange-gold shawl, a long orange-beaded necklace with gold ornaments, a tilak on his forehead, and a red-and-gold bangle on his arm. Brass bells hang from the ceiling above him, and a woman in a cream sari with a red bindi sits to the right beside a tray of flowers and offerings. a person is seated in the centre, identified by the throne, the saffron-orange shawl, the long beaded mala and ceremonial gold ornaments.
