A man seated on an ornate golden throne flanked by two golden lion figures on a red-draped platform, in front of a painted backdrop showing a multi-armed deity figure in orange holding a sword, a club and other implements. The seated man wears a white dhoti with yellow border, a white shawl draped over one shoulder, a red rudraksha mala with a pendant, gold armbands and bangles, and a sacred ash forehead mark, with a small lapel microphone clipped to his clothing. He holds a white staff in one hand and rests the other hand on his knee. Red and gold cushions and a pink and green painted pillar complete the stage setting. The seated man is an appearance-based a person candidate, with a rudraksha mala and ceremonial dress, though the features are not clearly distinctive.
