A man seated on a leopard-print armchair before an ornate gold-leaf throne back, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a leopard-print turban, a rudraksha mala with multiple strands and gold ornaments, a saffron-orange shawl over the shoulders, a gold bangle and a red thread on the wrist, with a red tilak on the forehead. A golden lion figure stands at the left edge beside a tasselled staff, and red drapery hangs behind the gold. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated in a discourse setting with the ornate throne and leopard-print seat, speaking to an audience.
