A man seated on an ornate golden throne shaped like a seven-headed cobra hood with a red zebra-striped cushion. He wears a peach satin top, bright yellow silk trousers, a gold and jewelled necklace with a red bead mala, gold bangles, and a cream turban-style headwrap decorated with a dark peacock feather and a red bindi. He sits with hands clasped and smiles toward the camera. Behind him are a pink backdrop, a painted peacock, and strands of white and yellow flower garlands. A microphone and a small table stand at the left. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated on the peetha as the central figure of the event.
