A seated man with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate silver-and-red velvet throne, eyes closed in a calm smile. He wears a rust-red draped cloth over his shoulders and a gold pendant necklace, and he plays a small handheld instrument with wooden sticks on a keyboard-like unit. Around him a large seated audience in pale yellow, cream and white clothing performs a hand gesture to their faces. Behind them stand shelves of coloured fabrics and a framed poster. The appearance-based candidate is shown in person, labelled a person on the basis of his throne, rust-red robe, long hair, gold necklace and forehead marking.
