A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a golden cobra-hood backrest and two golden lion figures flanking the seat, cushioned in leopard-print upholstery, with a foliage canopy overhead and a red drape behind. He wears a rust-red turban with a red tilak on the forehead, a rust-red shawl over the body, a black-and-gold fringed garment, a heavy gold necklace and rudraksha-style beaded mala, and gold armbands. A microphone stand is angled toward him as he speaks. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated in a discourse setting with his hands resting near the arms of the throne. The turban, rust shawl, beaded malas and ceremonial gold necklace are the qualifying cues.
