Photograph of a seated man on a carved wooden chair on a stage, speaking into a microphone on a boom stand. He wears a saffron-orange silk garment draped over one shoulder, layered rudraksha malas, a gold necklace with green beads, gold bangles and armbands, a gold forehead band with a red bindi, and a voluminous black hair crown. Behind him a large golden dance-form relief and stylised peacock and swan motifs decorate a cream backdrop. A water bottle and a red flask sit on a carved wooden side table. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated as speaker with orange robes, rudraksha malas and voluminous hair.
