A bearded man with long dark hair sits on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a saffron-red cloth wrapped over his shoulder and torso, multiple strands of red-orange beaded malas, a gold necklace, bangles on his arms, and a vertical red mark with white ash on his forehead. He gestures with his right hand while smiling. Behind him are a red velvet curtain and silver carved panels. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated on the throne speaking to an audience in a discourse setting.
