A photograph of a seated man on a red and gold throne decorated with garlands of yellow, orange, pink and white flowers. He wears an orange-gold turban with a white feather, a gold-brocade ceremonial tunic and a gold necklace, and smiles while a man in white clothes with an orange shawl bows and touches the seated man's head in blessing. Beside them stands a woman in a maroon sari with a red bindi, a rudraksha-style bead necklace and an ID badge, and at the right edge an older woman in a white shawl is partly visible. The backdrop shows a painted forest scene. The seated man has distinctive ceremonial cues of a turban, ornate gold-brocade clothing and a gold necklace, consistent with a person appearance, so he is marked as an in-person candidate with some uncertainty about identity; the bowing man is a devotee.
