Photograph of a seated man in an orange-red robe and shawl, with a gold necklace and layered gold chains, holding a silver trident aloft in his right hand while resting his left arm on a wicker-backed chair with a red cushion. He has long dark hair and a full beard, with a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him, a white pedestal fan and a row of seated devotees in white and orange clothing fill a bright hall with pale walls and a wooden-paneled door. Appearance-based candidate: a person, with long swept hair, saffron-orange robe and ceremonial gold necklaces, shown leading a discourse with a trident.
