A photograph of a seated figure on a gold-ornate throne under a grey canopy. The seated man wears an orange saffron robe with a red and white flower garland and a rudraksha-style bead mala, and holds a folded paper. Beside him stands a man in a white shirt raising a long white and red flower garland toward the seated figure, while another man's arm reaches in from the right. The throne is decorated with gold carvings, flowers and a cushion with a dark emblem. Identity is uncertain from appearance alone, so the seated figure is described by role as a seated presenter in saffron with garlands.
