A man in orange sannyasi cloth, bare-chested with white ash markings on his arms and chest, stands at right holding a brass vessel and gesturing toward a shrine. The shrine is decorated with a gold arch, white and pink flower garlands, and a red and gold backdrop, housing a deity murti of Shiva and Parvati with a trident. To the left, a large printed photograph of a bearded man wearing an orange turban and orange robes with a white and orange mala sits on a red and gold throne. He is not visibly present as a physical person, so the candidate appears only as a depiction. The scene is outdoors under a corrugated roof with yellow pillars and a visible timestamp reading May 17, 2022.
