A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala, hands joined in namaste, on a large orange-backed throne in an open temple pavilion. Before him, several people in white clothes and yellow or orange shawls sit on the floor, some holding offerings. Fruit bowls, a brass plate with orange cloth and a lit lamp lie on the mat, and a red carpet is in the foreground. Behind him stands a gilded shrine with a red-clad deity murti hung with yellow and purple garlands, framed by orange curtains and flowers. The scene resembles a padapuja or paduka puja. The man on the throne has long hair, a rudraksha mala and saffron robes, so this is a person appearance-based candidate, though the page says he was not at this event.
