A photograph inside a decorated red pavilion showing a seated figure on a large gilded throne with a red cushioned seat, wearing a white-and-pink garment, a white flower garland and red garlands, with long dark hair. Several devotees in orange and saffron robes and women in red and pink saris crowd around, one bald-shaven monk in orange with a rudraksha mala on the right foreground. A man and women hand offerings, including fruit, toward the seated figure. A video camera on a tripod stands at centre, and a painted panel of colourful deity imagery fills the left background, with hanging lamps overhead. Appearance-based candidate, a person, is seated on the throne wearing a garland and ornate gold setting; identity is inferred from the page and appearance only, so the seated figure is labelled as a candidate.
