A man in orange saffron robes sits cross-legged on a throne draped in zebra-striped fabric and framed by a semicircular arch of yellow, white and red flower garlands. He wears a long ornate gold necklace and a red tilak mark on his forehead, with hands folded in his lap. Potted purple orchids flank the throne, and a rectangular zebra-print footstool sits in front. Behind him hangs a saffron banner with Kannada script reading ānande and the number 2008, and portions of other orange-robed attendees stand at the edges. Appearance-based label: a person, seated on the throne in a ceremonial event setting.
