A seated man in an orange-red sleeveless robe with a matching waist sash sits cross-legged on a wooden throne-like seat with leopard-print cushions. He wears a long rudraksha mala with a white pendant, rudraksha armbands, a gold chain and a white tilak on his forehead. Long hair is gathered high on his head and he smiles at the camera. Golden figurine attendants flank him, one holding a gold bowl on each side. Behind him is a yellow panelled backdrop with painted figures at the edges. He is an in-person candidate by appearance, described only by role and attire here: a seated teacher in saffron-orange ceremonial dress.
