A photograph on a stage before a golden throne draped with multicoloured flower garlands and turquoise cloth. A man in a maroon turban and a shimmering purple-pink embroidered sherwani stands at left, smiling and handing a white gift bag. A bald man in an orange dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala stands at right holding white shopping bags. In the foreground a man in a green silk kurta and white dhoti bows deeply, forehead touching a gold footstool draped with yellow flowers. The candidate in the turban shows cues of long swept-back hair and ornate attire, but the appearance is not conclusive enough for a confident identification. Gold-trimmed red and patterned rugs cover the platform.
