A man seated in a large brown leather throne-style chair speaks animatedly to an audience. He wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his body, a heavy gold necklace of beads hanging to his chest, and a red tilak mark on his forehead. Around him, seated attendees in white and orange-red scarves or lanyards listen closely. A microphone and a black Yamaha audio unit sit in the foreground. Warm ornate wall panels form the backdrop. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated on the throne with saffron robes, gold beaded mala and tilak, speaking to attendees.
