A seated man in an orange-saffron shawl draped over his head and body sits cross-legged on an orange cushion in an outdoor courtyard, eyes closed and hands folded in his lap. A small brass kalasha-style pot sits on the gravel beside him. Behind him, a red tractor and a golden ceremonial chariot with a carved golden yali-like head are visible, with white-clad men working around them. Dark stone sculptures of deities and a carved serpent stand to the right, against a white wall and palm trees. The seated figure shows distinctive saffron robes and a shawl but no visible crown, mala or long swept-back hair, so the candidate is uncertain. Another white-clad person sits at the chariot near the tractor.
