A photograph of a shaved-headed man in a white kurta with a yellow shawl and a wooden rudraksha mala, standing at a white table covered with papers, blister packs and a small brown bottle. He leans forward, gesturing with one hand, while women in white with yellow shawls and a woman with a white tilak mark stand beside him. Behind them a large hall is filled with seated participants in white clothing on mats. The visible man wears no crown or saffron and no distinctive long hair, so no candidate is confirmed.
