A smiling man in saffron-orange robes with a red-and-gold border sits cross-legged on a red cushioned throne in front of an ornate gold repoussé backdrop. He wears a long double rudraksha mala, a gold armlet on his upper arm, and a red bindi on his forehead, and his hands are gesturing as he speaks into a microphone on a flexible stand. A pale grey curtain hangs behind the throne. The a person cues here are the saffron robes, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold armlet on a throne, so he is treated as a probable in-person candidate.
