A photograph of four men seated in a plain room at a low table set with steel tumblers, bowls and patterned placemats. On the left, a man with a long dark braid, white forehead markings, rudraksha malas and a rust-brown garment sits on a cream sofa, gesturing as he speaks. Three men on a beige sofa wear saffron-orange robes and matching saffron head cloths; the middle one has a red scarf, the right one a cream shawl. A red curtain hangs at the right and a white wall forms the background. Whether the man at left is the candidate cannot be established from appearance alone, so he is described only by role.
