A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate silver-trimmed throne with leopard-print cushions, backed by dense yellow and red marigold garlands. He wears a rust-brown robe, a gold chain, a red-and-yellow marigold garland, and a red tilak, with long dark matted hair piled on his head. He holds a document and an orange in one hand. Beside him stands a younger attendant in orange robes and a rudraksha mala, with a white forehead mark, holding oranges. A man in a light green shirt kneels at the throne presenting a paper, a man on crutches in a white shirt stands at left, and a seated child in white appears at the lower right. The image reads as a person in_person candidate by the seated figure's dark swept hair, ornate gold necklace and rust-brown robe, but this is an appearance-based label only.
