A bearded man seated on an ornate gold throne with a deep maroon cushion adjusts a yellow and red marigold garland around his neck. He wears a brown turban with a jewelled ornament, rudraksha and beaded malas, gold bangles and a brown robe, with a leopard-print cloth at the waist. Behind him stands a second man with long hair and a brown wrap, and at left a brass plate holds yellow flowers and offerings. A tent canopy and warm lamplight form the background. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated in the throne with garlands and malas.
