A photograph of a man standing on a procession float with eyes closed and face tilted upward, smiling. He wears a red-maroon garment with a gold border, rudraksha mala beads, gold ornaments and a gold necklace, large hoop earrings, a red bindi and white forehead markings, and long dark hair. He holds a silver trident with red-jewelled tips in one hand. Behind him is an ornate gold arched canopy with a red cushion and a fan of peacock feathers. Gold foliage-shaped decorations hang above, and a stone or concrete structure forms the background. a person appears as the appearance-based candidate, with the rudraksha mala, ornate gold jewellery and saffron-red clothing; he is the festival procession participant.
