A photograph of a stage set for a discourse. A seated man in orange-red robes, a red-orange turban, a white flower garland and gold necklaces sits on an ornate gilded throne shaped like a cobra-hooded seat with lion figures at its base. Behind him stands a large dark bronze deity murti with multiple arms holding objects, beside a bull figure, under a dark hooded canopy. Brass trishula staves flank the throne on a red carpet. Behind the stage is a large backdrop painting of an arched courtyard with pink columns and a checkered floor. Whiteboards on both sides display text in English and Tamil-style script. Lighting rigs hang overhead. The seated man is an appearance-based a person with a turban, orange robes and gold adornments, placed on a throne with a garland, so the identity is uncertain.

Two whiteboards flank the throne with handwritten state-of-consciousness charts, and brass trident staffs stand on either side. The seated man has long hair, a distinctive saffron and gold ensemble, and the stage setting matches the page's discourse context, so the appearance-based candidate is a person, seated in a discourse setting.2016-12-03December 03 20162016-12-03December 03 20162016-12-03A seated man in a rust-orange robe and matching orange turban sits on an ornate gilded throne on a stage.
