Outdoor photo beside a clear stream under green trees. A seated figure in a silver-framed throne with a leopard-print cushion wears an orange-red turban, an orange-red cloth with gold border, and a heavy gold-and-yellow garland; he holds a white sheet of paper. Around him stand attendants in white dhotis and red-orange shawls, with rudraksha malas, some holding long silver-topped umbrellas and orange-red parasols. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated on the throne, with long hair, a turban and ornate gold garland, so unsure is used for certainty.
