A smiling man in saffron-orange robes stands before an ornate gilded and green-lit arch of embossed floral and scrollwork. He wears a long rudraksha mala across his chest, a leopard-print shawl draped over one shoulder, a sacred mark on his forehead, hoop earrings and a thin white ceremonial necklace. His right hand rests at his side. Appearance-based candidate, a person, is shown in a formal devotional setting, though the photo shows no identifying text on the figure itself.
