A smiling man with a bearded face, white forehead paste and a red bindi, wearing a tall dark dreadlocked topknot, sits before a microphone on a stand. He wears saffron-red draped cloth over the shoulders and multiple strands of brown rudraksha beads across the chest and upper arms, plus a gold pendant necklace. Behind him a large ornate silver-and-gold backdrop with a snake-hood motif rises beside a red and green pillar. Appearance-based candidate: a person, giving a discourse, with long dreadlocked hair, rudraksha malas and saffron cloth as cues.
