A photograph of a smiling man seated on a brown leather throne-style chair with carved wooden arms, barefoot, with his hands clasped on his lap. He wears a red-orange saffron-coloured cloth wrap, a long necklace of gold and black beaded spheres, and a red bindi on his forehead, with a small headset microphone near his face. Behind him stands a large gilded carved arch and two golden lion sculptures flank the chair, set against deep red drapes. A water bottle sits at the lower left. Appearance-based candidate: a person, identified by the swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold-and-black bead necklace seated on a throne.
