A man seated on a red zebra-striped throne with gold trim, speaking into a headset microphone and raising his right hand in a gesture of address. He wears an orange saffron-coloured dhoti-style garment draped over one shoulder, layered rudraksha malas, a ceremonial gold necklace with a pendant, a rudraksha bracelet and a rudraksha-beaded waist belt with a silver clasp. He has a white tripundra and a red bindi on his forehead. Golden ritual lamps and a golden lion-shaped armrest stand beside him against a painted green backdrop. Appearance-based candidate: a person, presenting a discourse seated on a peetha; the orange clothing, multiple malas and gold ornaments are the qualifying cues. Only one physical person is visible.
