A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange turban sits on a carved wooden lion-headed throne decorated with white flower garlands, smiling as he receives a printed poster from a woman. The woman wears a white sari with a red-bordered design, a red lanyard and a beaded necklace, and holds one end of a large printed sheet showing a saffron-robed figure. Another woman in a teal sari and a man in a white shirt with red lanyards stand behind, and a dark-jacketed man is also visible. Blue and silver draped curtains and flowers form the backdrop of an evening event. The seated figure's identity is not established from appearance alone.

A stage event with a man in an orange robe and orange turban with long dark hair, wearing a rudraksha mala and standing at the right, smiling and gesturing toward a man in white clothes and a white head cloth who holds a printed magazine. A younger man in orange, wearing a garland, stands at left holding a flower bouquet, and a white-shirted man stands behind him. Two large ornate gold-and-red chairs sit on the stage behind a table decorated with orange and white marigold garlands and water bottles. A large banner shows a portrait of a smiling woman with a bindi and Kannada script, and circular portrait inserts above it. A bearded man in orange sits at the far right edge. Appearance-based cues for the orange-turbaned standing figure are long hair, a rudraksha mala and orange robes, so he is labelled a probable candidate.
