A smiling man stands barefoot on a red stage holding a silver trident-topped staff in his left hand while his right hand touches his forehead. He wears a deep red turban with a small black bindi, rudraksha beads and a red-and-gold beaded garland, a red-and-gold top, and a leopard-print shawl over red dhoti-style cloth with gold borders. Behind him stands an ornate gilded throne with red upholstery and a carved wooden lattice screen, and a silver umbrella canopy hangs at the top left. The figure appears to be a person candidate, shown in a seated-stage setting with red and gold regalia, and the image is a photograph of a person on stage.
