A bearded man in a saffron-orange shawl and matching orange dhoti sits on an ornate silver-carved throne with a red velvet seat, holding a wooden cane in one hand and resting the other on a gold-trimmed table with a small tablet. A lapel microphone is clipped near his collar and a red thread is tied on his wrist. Audience members in saffron, orange, green and red saris and kurtas fill the hall in front of him, and a large screen glows in the upper corners. The scene suggests a seated discourse before a large gathering. The shawl and throne alone do not establish identity, so no candidate is confirmed here.
