A smiling man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests and leopard-print cushions, facing a microphone on a stand. He wears a leopard-print headwrap, a red-brown dhoti-style garment, a multi-strand gold necklace and a thick chain with a gold pendant, and a red-and-white floral garland with yellow and green accents. Gold armbands are on both arms and a red tilak marks his forehead. Behind him a golden ornate backrest and red curtains fill the background. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated in the central position on the throne with garland and ceremonial gold jewellery.
