A man seated cross-legged on an ornate silver throne with carved lion and elephant motifs and a leopard-print cushion, against red curtains. He wears a rust-orange turban, orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with gold border, a gold necklace and a red wrist thread, with a tilak on his forehead. Both arms are spread wide as he speaks into a standing microphone; a silver staff stands beside the throne. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated and speaking as a discourse teacher.
