A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne under a white and red tent, with the throne backed by a large garland of yellow, orange, red and purple flowers. The seated man wears a white dhoti with a gold-bordered shawl and a flower garland, and holds open a large printed card decorated with red roses and a gold border. Beside him, a man in saffron robes and an orange-beaded garland smiles and gestures toward the card. Other people stand around in white and off-white clothing, a young attendant in orange is behind the throne, and red apples are arranged at the base of the throne. The seated man is the appearance-based a person candidate: he has long swept-back hair and a gold-bordered shawl on a throne, though the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity.
