A smiling man with long dark swept-back hair and a red bindi sits barefoot in a cream and gold floral upholstered armchair with a carved gold-trimmed wooden frame, against deep red drapery. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with gold border, a long multi-strand rudraksha mala across his chest, and rests one arm on the armrest. A white shaggy rug lies beneath the chair. The appearance cues match a person candidate seated in a ceremonial throne-like chair, as an in-person presence.
