Night photo of an outdoor ceremonial pavilion under a pink-edged canopy hung with green leaves and a large layered red, orange and green circular decoration. A figure in an orange robe with a gold necklace and long dark hair sits on a white throne-like chair against a purple backdrop, with bamboo poles and palm-frond decorations at the sides. Several men in white shirts and white dhotis stand close to the seated figure, some with folded hands, while people in white and a checked shirt are at the right edge. The figure's appearance is consistent with a presentation-based candidate but cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity; the seated figure is described by role only.
