A photograph of a ceremonial stage with a large gold ornate throne beneath a golden canopy with hanging pendants. A seated figure in orange-red robes, a matching red turban, and a garland of beads sits with hands folded in greeting and a smile, which is an appearance-based candidate; the figure's presentation shows only a turban and beads, so identity is uncertain. To the left a shaved-headed man in orange-red robes and a cross-body bag stands, and at right a man in a blue striped shirt and dark trousers stands with palms pressed together while holding a microphone. Behind them a large red backdrop depicts a seated Shiva figure with a trident and rudraksha. At far right a shaved-headed attendant in orange robes bends over a table holding a clipboard, beside a small floral arrangement.
