A man seated in an ornate gold-framed brown leather throne with carved golden lion-head armrests, eyes closed and palms pressed together in namaste at his chest. He wears an orange-red shawl over bare shoulders, multiple long rudraksha mala necklaces, a red bracelet, and a red-and-white bindi-style mark on his forehead, with dark hair piled high on his head. Audience members sit blurred in the foreground and background, some with hands joined. a person is seated on the throne, identified by the throne, the rudraksha malas, the swept-up hair and the saffron-orange shawl, with the in-person candidate seated in a formal sabha-style setting.
