A seated man in a gilded, ornately carved golden throne with red velvet cushions speaks into a microphone on a stand at right. He wears white dhoti-style clothing with a gold-bordered shawl draped over one shoulder, a red-and-gold-threaded wrap, a long rudraksha mala of brown beads, a gold chain, and a blue-and-gold pendant. A red bindi marks his forehead, and he has long dark hair. His eyes are closed, and both hands are raised in front of him with palms facing outward in a teaching gesture. A lush painted forest backdrop fills the background. Appearance-based candidate: a person, shown in person, seated on the throne and speaking into the microphone.
