A seated long-haired man in white robes with an orange shawl and a garland of flowers sits on an orange-draped seat atop a red carpet, in a covered hall with corrugated roof, orange bunting and a red-and-orange ceremonial umbrella overhead. Behind him an attendant in white holds a tall staff and a garland, while orange-robed men kneel beside a golden trident and a golden staff. A seated audience in white and bright saris fills the room behind metal railings, and framed portraits and posters line the walls. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated centrally in white and orange with long hair and garlands.
