A photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair seated on an ornate red throne with gold-carved legs and a gold-trimmed top, wearing an orange saffron robe, orange dhoti-style pants, a leopard-print shawl, and a rudraksha mala. A kneeling man in a white dhoti and a blue, pink and white striped shirt with a lanyard reaches toward the seated man's head, appearing to bless or touch him. A leopard-print mat lies on the floor and a pink wall with a partially visible banner stands behind them. The seated man's appearance with long swept hair, rudraksha mala, saffron clothing and leopard shawl matches the page's a person reference, so the in-person candidate is labelled probable.
