A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet back, decorated with white, orange, yellow and purple flower garlands and a floral canopy overhead. He wears a cream turban, a red silk kurta with gold embroidered trim and a gold shawl over white dhoti, and has a red bindi on his forehead. A kneeling man in plain white shirt and white dhoti bows with his head touching the seated man's hand near the knee. On the left, a partly visible man in orange-saffron robes holds a rudraksha mala, and a brass aarti or lamp plate appears at the right edge. The seated man, who has long hair and a turban, carries a distinctive appearance: the description is a probable identification based on these cues, with the seated man's role as the throned central figure receiving devotion. The scene is a stage with a dark drape backdrop and white fabric at the base of the throne.
