A man seated on an ornate silver throne with carved lion-head and elephant-figure armrests, draped in a leopard-print cushion, speaks into a microphone on a stand before red curtains. He wears a rust-orange turban, a rust-orange robe with gold-edged border, a gold chain, and a red tilak on his forehead, and raises both palms open in an animated gesture while smiling. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated and teaching with long hair visible at the side, orange robes, gold necklace and turban. Silver ceremonial objects and a pedestal stand beside the throne.
