A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on a large white rounded throne against a deep maroon velvet curtain, speaking into a gooseneck microphone. He wears an orange saffron robe draped over his shoulders and a red bindi on his forehead, with long dark hair swept back, and gestures with both hands while talking. Pink papers lie on the throne's side cushions. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated and addressing an audience on a stage.
