A man wearing a rust-red turban decorated with gold and jewelled ornaments, a green feather and a gold cobra-shaped pin, sits before a gilded ornate backdrop with a deep red curtain behind him. He wears a pink and white flower garland, a gold chain and a gold earring, with a vertical tilak mark on his forehead. Appearance-based candidate: a person, identified by the turban, ornaments and garland as a ceremonial presence on stage.
