A photograph of a person seated on a golden lion-headed throne or seat, hands pressed together in namaste at chest level. The person wears a thick garland of pink and white flowers, a rudraksha-style bead mala with gold ornamentation, gold bangles, a gold earring and a red tilak on the forehead, with bare shoulders and a reddish-brown cloth. Behind is a red and orange fringed canopy, and at left a pillar wrapped in marigold, rose and other flower garlands. Golden lion heads are in the foreground, and a white fan and a seated attendant in white appear in the background. The person has long hair pulled back and a swept-back style, with appearance cues consistent with the page's reference to a person, though this is uncertain from appearance alone.
