A photograph of a seated man at the centre of a decorated stage, facing the camera with a slight smile. He wears a gold crown-like headdress, a vibhuti or kumkum mark on the forehead, gold earrings, a gold necklace, and gold armlets over a rust-brown saffron-toned robe. Large garlands of red, pink and white flowers hang on either side of him. Behind him stands a painted statue of a deity with raised hands, beside a red and gold cloth hanging, and a wooden panelled wall forms the backdrop. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated on a stage with garlands and a deity statue behind.
