A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a pink-and-white flower garland sits on an ornate carved wooden throne with leopard-print cushions, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a long rudraksha mala, a gold ceremonial necklace, gold armlets and bangles, and a white tilak on his forehead. Behind him stands a golden deity statue with a tree and potted plants at the left, and decorative hanging banners in red, yellow and blue. Brass lamps and bells sit at the sides of a wooden stage with red drapes. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated in a sermon setting.
