A photograph of a man standing beside an ornate gilded throne at night, with a golden embroidered parasol above him and bamboo foliage behind. He wears a reddish-brown wrap and skirt with a gold-yellow border, a large gold ceremonial necklace and a dark rudraksha-style mala, and has a tilak on his forehead and long dark hair swept up. He rests one arm on the throne, which has a zebra-striped cushion. An orange cloth hangs over a side table, and a fan is visible at the right edge. Appearance-based candidate, a person, is standing in person on a stage.
