A photograph of a large screen displaying a live feed of a seated man on an ornate silver throne with pink cushions, framed by red and yellow flower arrangements. He wears a maroon silk kurta with gold embroidery, a white and multicolour flower garland, and a red bindi on his forehead; his long dark hair is swept back. He raises one hand in a blessing gesture and holds a sheet of white paper. A monitor and camera sit at the right edge of the screen. Appearance-based candidate: a person on the screen, seated on the throne in a maroon kurta with garland and long swept-back hair.
