A seated man in orange-saffron silk robes sits on an ornately carved wooden throne on a stage, smiling broadly. He wears a long rudraksha mala, layered gold and green-beaded necklaces, gold bangles and a gold forehead ornament with a red bindi; his voluminous dark hair is swept up. A microphone stands before him, with a water bottle and red flask on a carved side table. Behind him hang a curtain with a painted dancing Nataraja figure and peacock-feather motifs. The man is an appearance-based a person candidate, identified only by his saffron robes, rudraksha mala, ceremonial jewellery and swept-up hair, and no printed name is visible.
