A man stands on a stage in front of a golden throne flanked by gilded lion sculptures and a tiger-striped cloth, with painted deity figures at the edges. He wears a rust-brown dhoti and shawl edged with gold zari, a long beaded rudraksha-style mala, gold earrings, a red bindi and a headset microphone, with a bandage on one forearm. His appearance matches the a person candidate by his mala, gold ornaments and ceremonial stage setting, and he appears to be speaking to an audience.
