A seated man in ochre-red robes laughs broadly before a gold-embossed throne with ornate floral carvings. He wears white and purple flower garlands, layered rudraksha malas, a heavy gold ceremonial necklace and a gold pendant, with a white vibhuti band and red tilak on his forehead. A microphone on a stand is in front of him and he gestures with one arm outstretched toward a small table. Appearance-based candidate: a person, with rudraksha malas, gold ceremonial necklaces, flower garlands and ochre clothing, seated in a presidential throne setting.
