A man stands barefoot on a carpeted stage in front of an ornate golden throne flanked by two carved golden lion sculptures and a tiger-striped seat cushion. He wears a rust-red robe with a gold-edged wrap, a garland of white and yellow flowers, a gold-bead necklace and a red bindi, and he raises both hands in a smiling welcoming gesture. Behind him a pink, green and blue temple-style backdrop with lamps and small lights frames the throne, and oil lamps stand at the sides. The appearance-based label is a person: the candidate shows a rudraksha-style bead necklace and saffron-toned clothing, but the cues are not strong enough to be certain, so this is an unsure in-person candidate.
